My Condolences to the whole family. Grace was a very special lady. Loved her smile every time I would run into her at the post office in Corunna. We always talked about the good old day when her husband Keith and my Dad and myself would sing together. And I go and watch them play in Mooretown at the strawberry social in June. Very special Lady. Good memories. We will miss her. So happy we sang Happy birthday to her at Meadowview Villa when I played there. God Bless her . Sending prayers and love.

Dear Connie and Steve and family and Karen and Bert and family. Grace was a wonderful woman and her name said everything about her. She was truly grace personified. She was a lady who lived her Christian faith every day. I will always remember when I was calling for pies for Courtright United Church dinners, I could be guaranteed that Grace would make me at least three and six if I needed them. She and Keith were always in the kitchen for those dinners. Grace was washing dishes and Keith was mashing potatoes. I and I learned lots from both of them. I truly miss those days with all the laughter and comradery in the church kitchen.
It has been my honour to have known Grace and she will be missed by all who knew her. My world is a better place because Grace was part of it.
Please accept my deepest and most heartfelt condonlences and sympathy to you all during this sad time.
