Dear Family, I know this is an extremely emotional time for all of you. I loved Aunt Grace very much & thought of her often. She was such a lovely woman inside & outside. She was a very kind & caring person & I'll always remember her that way. I'm so sorry that I won't be able to attend the funeral. My husband had surgery today, therefore, I cannot attend.
