Thank you, dear Grace, for being such a wonderful sister. We will love you forever and keep you close in our hearts. You did so much to keep our family close, to provide spectacular holiday feasts, to create a beautiful home which you shared with so many friends and relatives. You were creative in so many ways--decorating, gardening, making candles and kaleidoscopes, cooking, homemaking, mothering and all the time being so gentle, kind and sweet. Our hearts are broken! We will miss you more than words can express.
Love always, Lyla and Roy

Hello my dear sweet Grace. I miss you so much.
I have been spending a lot of time with the kids reminiscing about our lives together. They were touched by a glimpse into your modeling career of which they knew little. Especially the article from the Minneapolis paper with the article about famed Hollywood glamor photographer, Ray Jones, who was taking studio portraits of you and included were portraits of some of his other stars: Arlene Dahl, Lucille Ball, Susan Hayward, Rhonda Fleming and Marlene Dietrich. Pretty nice company to be in!
We had a rich, full life and we are blessed that we could share it with you.
Love, Bob
