My memories of Aunt Grace are filled with laughter, love of family, friends, travel, and trips to the casino. Her visits were packed full of stories of her many adventures, and they always ended with us cracking up, smiling, and wanting more – which she regularly delivered on. Her love and kindness towards me were unwavering and I am grateful she was part of my life. My thoughts are with Colleen, Christopher, Kevin, Ryan, Ashlee, and Monica.

My aunt Grace was a force. The family’s choice of pictures really captured her dynamic personality, her sense of humor, her love of life, her love for family and friends.
Grace was always a steadfast supporter of me and my family. We have always been sisters in a bond of love. I will miss her dearly. Joy
