Ed - -my sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of your mother. She must have been a wonderful and remakable woman!
My sisters live in Framingham, and I try to visit every couple of years. (I visited every year when my mom was alive and living with them. I wish I had known you were there.)
I hope I can visit and renew our friendship on my next visit.
Please extend my condolences to cousin Alan and all the Grace family.

Irene (Grace) Davidson was a remarkable woman who loved people and always made her home on Richmond Ave. a warm gathering placed for friends and family. She was a true survivor yet always maintained a sense of play, spontaneity and joy in her heart. She loved her children dearly and enjoyed the myriads of experiences living in the Worcester community. For Irene, life was an adventure which she immersed herself into with great gusto and love. She loved to laugh and to share photos and to discuss the little things happening in her world. I will never forget, as a little boy, when Irene took me to the beach and assuaged my fears about lunging into the small waves. I also remember staying at her house many times and all the delicious meals she prepared for her children and me. She was a progeny of a deep and ancient culture that she carried throughout her life; yet she adjusted well to the modern life and often sang songs of inspiration, recalling the memories that formed the soul of a woman whose life will remain with us until the rest of our days!

My fondest memories are of Aunt Irene's very busy kitchen at 57 Richmond Ave. It was always filled with wonderful smells of mandel bread, rugelach and other pastries. She was the ultimate baker! I am saddened by this incredible end of an era and hope that all the siblings of the Grace family are reunited with Bobie and Zadie.

She was the last of the Grace sisters. The end of an era. The end of a generation that saw so much, loved so much and cared so much for her immediate and extended family. Hard to believe that they are all gone now. I would like to believe that all her brothers and sisters are together with Bubbie & Zaida at the ultimate Grace family reunion.

Dear Cousins,
My memories return to Richmond Avenue where ALL the family gathered at the COUNTLESS celebrations overseen by the ULTIMATE BALABUSTER, my dear Aunt Irene, with her excellent baking and storytelling skills. A remarkable era has ended, yet life goes on.
My thoughts are with you all.
