When I was growing up my Aunt Grace was like a second mother to me as I was invited to spend many a night with my cousins and my aunt. I always felt safe with my aunt because I knew she loved me as if I were one of her own children. And I can still remember her laugh when talking on the telephone with my mom for what seemed to be hours. I have no idea what they were talking or laughing about, but they are the sweet memories of my aunt which will live in my heart forever.
I am so sorry to hear about your mother's passing. She was a great room mate with my mother, Dorothy Dawson, at Cambridge North. She was delightful and I really enjoyed visiting with her, as did my family. Unfortunately I couldn't get off work to attend the visitation before the memorial service, by you have my heartfelt sympathy. God Bless Grace and all of her family!
Ed, So sorry for your loss. It's so hard to lose a parent. Your mom must have been a remarkable woman. Take care now, and see you soon.
Regards Joan
I am so sorry to hear about Grace. My mom, Dorothy Dawson, was her room mate at Cambridge North for the past year. Grace was such a nice person and was a great friend to my mom. Our entire family really liked her a lot and enjoyed visiting with her when she was able. I am so sad of her passing and will miss her.
Hello Gary, Janet, Edward and Marion and all your extended family. Please accept my thoughts and sympathy for the loss of your mother. I will always enjoy the memory of her laugh and the happy times we had so many years ago when our parents got together. Blessings on you all. Warmly, your cousin Jacqueline
Janet, you have our deepest sympathies and please know that your whole family, as well as your mother, are in our thoughts and prayers.
Hi Janet and Dave,
Both Jack Salter and Reid informed me of your Mother's passing. I'm sorry for your loss. Now she is in the hands of Jesus - what better place to be. Take care and know that many people love you.
Please accept my deepest sympathy for I too know the pain of losing someone as special as a mom. May your family find comfort as I have in knowing that our loving heavenly Father promises us that very soon he will 'wipe out every tear from our eyes, and death will be no more.' (Revelation 21:4) What a wonderful day that will be!
I have known Grace for a very long time. We always enjoyed talking together about our shared love of travel especially to her beloved England. I would always bring her back those English cookies and tea which she loved. Grace will be missed by all of us especially her family which she loved so much.
What a beautiful, compassionate, and caring lady! She will be missed. My prayers are with you and for her.
