Was saddened to hear read of Grace's passing. Had so many enjoyable times with her through many years. She brought many a smile to grandchildren with beautiful birthday cakes and many delicious holiday meals. I have thought of he often when we lost contact and now I hope her family can can find comfort through their many good memories.
