She will be missed by her family! I always remember Aunt Grace at our confirmation. She was always such a sweet person. Tomorrow we are having my grandmothers friends and family over from 1 to 5 or so. My grandmother did not want a big deal. We have started sorting her stuff and finding some funny stuff. Much love to you and I will call soon!
