I wood like to express my deepest sympathy. I will always remember Grace being in a very happy mood when I saw her and always wanting you to eat something she made.

I can never forget when I would stop to see Tom or slide off the road when the hill was slippery, Grace would make me pink eggs. She was a very good person

Dear Roberta,Mary,Carolyn Sue and Tom,
I am very saddened to see the passing of Grace. She was such a sweet and loving lady and one of my favorite people (along with Elbert) that were part of mom and dad's life. I will always remember the good times with them at your home and the corn roasts! I hope they will find mom and dad in heaven and continue on with the good times:) Marilyn Coe-Wanacheck
