Your mom was very special - I was very proud that she came to my wedding. She was always ready to laugh.

“You gotta dance like there's nobody watching, Love like you'll never be hurt,Sing like there's nobody listening, And live like it's heaven on earth.” Here's to tap dancing in the kitchen, singing loudly in church and all the other wonderful things grandma taught us.

Grace was special to all who knew her, a very generous woman who was devoted to God, her family, and her church. She and I started the Divorced and Separated Catholics Ministry at Holy Name of Jesus Church where she worshipped devotedly and taught Religion to children for many years. Grace hosted the DSC meetings in her home with her warm hospitality and shared her wisdom with the participants in need. To the end, she never stopped giving the gift of self. Safe journey to Heaven, my friend, you will be missed by us , but rewarded by your Lord for all your good deeds.
