Your lovely mother and mine, Ida DeThomasis, were fast friends who shared their faith and stories about their families over coffee after every Sunday Mass back at Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Grace was a great support when my Mom's health started to decline and her wit and good humor provided friendly comfort to her. She was a lovely woman and I wish your family peace and strength at this most difficult time. I will keep you in my prayers.

Grace enjoyed gardening with the Elders on the Grow at the Nursing Home. I was privileged to know her through that group having volunteered with Maddy Perron and others working with our "gardeners". Grace was always willing to do one more potting up, design, or whatever, always assisting others in the grup with encouraging words. She was a gem, thanks for sharing her with us.

We think of you every year when there is no pumpkin pie b/c no one likes it and you told us once we were spoiled because of it! You will forever give us a great chuckle!
