There are so many fond memories at Aunt Grace & Uncle Art's at Christmas time and at many of the gatherings with our cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. We are so lucky, and I know it is because of the family values that Grandmom instilled in each of her children. I can see it being passed down from generation to generation. As stated in the wonderful memorial to Aunt Grace, "Death is at once the end of the body's old journey, and the beginning of the soul's new journey." Amen "Rest in Peace Aunt Grace" We love you.
