We are there in our hearts to cherish the love you gave us.
She was a truly lovely woman. I am sorry for your loss.
Dear Susan, Joyce, Larry, Carol, and Travers family. Your mom and parents were so special and I was blessed to get to know them better, particularly during my formative Milton high school years.
Grace was positive, pleasant, and energetic and I looked forward to her greeting and her greetings to others fortunate to be entering her company and home. She raised an incredible family who help spread her positive, pleasant, and fun-spirited joy of life.
My thoughts, prayers, tears, and smiles are with you,
Love, Paul
