What a sorrow to lose Grace. I will miss her gentle personality. I especially liked her poetry.

My sympathy to her family.

Grace was a fine poet among the company of poets of a certain age, and of ageless poets. I enjoyed her wry sense of humor, her poetry and her presence. Condolences to the family.

Tony,
Sorry to hear that Grace passed away. I (Joan) remember her (so long ago), when she took on teaching a Hmong Refugee Man the paint colors as he just got a job with the Boldt Co. She was very patient and had compassion for someone trying to learn the English language.
With our prayers and thought are with you and your family.

Ann and Family,
St. Thomas More was lucky to have her as a teacher's aide. She had so much patience working with me. She helped me learn to count money /and helped me with math flashcards. What a wonderful person.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mother.
Although I never had the pleasure of meeting
her, it sounds like she was a lovely and intelligent
lady.
God Bless you and your family.
