Christian, one of Grace’s grandson’s is my nephew. It was always a pleasure to spend a little family time with her. We had some happy times together in Florida a few years ago. I will always remember her warm and gentle smile and her love of gardens. My thoughts are with her children and grandchildren at this difficult time.

Susan, Jill and Chris:
We are so sorry to hear about your loss. I had heard that she was in the hospital but I had no idea this was coming. Our thoughts are with you at this time of sadness.
It is too bad we have been strangers for so many years. All off in different directions of course. But we would always look forward to seeing your Mom at the Trussler reunions to get caught up on the news.
We wish you comfort with each other in this doubly difficult time.
Bruce, Helene, Toby and Julia

I’m so thankful for you!
