Grace was a truly lovely lady, The picture of her shown is exactly as I remember her. I once had a chance meeting with her and her sisters at a local restaurant and it was so nice to see how they enjoyed each other's company. I shall always remember that..how nice it was for them! She was a bright light in the lives of so many. I am glad I had a chance to know her. You have my deepest sympathy,

Frank and family.
I am really sorry to see that your mom passed. Death sucks but not for her, just for those left behind. It's pretty weird when our families die but you were very lucky to have a good mom.
Take good care and I'll add your family to my prayers for comfort.

Dear Frank, Mary Ellen and family, I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mom and I shared many a laugh together and actually got work done, too! Grace Marie will forever be remembered for all her kindness, caring, wit, and love for her family. She and Fred are together again. May they rest in heavenly peace.

What an amazing, energetic, witty, person Gracie was. She was the spice in our lives. She also was someone who was loyal, honest and a champion of facts and truth. A life full of laughter, love and pain is over. She deserves a great welcome Above.
