Hi Tricia, I am so sorry for your loss.
I had the pleasure to meet your entire family back in the summer of 1979 while visiting from Peru. Your parents where the nicest and kindest couple, and all of you kids took turns to show me around. You took me to lunch in your break from work, Timothy and some of his friends down the river in floating devices, Michael to that boat "Maid of the Mist", (?) Laurie out for a walk, and so on. Priceless memories that I remember as if it was last year (almost 40 years now!).
My deepest sympathy to you, your siblings, and entire family.
Tomas

Tricia, Melissa, and family, I want to express my heartfelt condolences to you and your family as you all now deal with the loss of your mom. Like you, my family knows what it's like to lose our mom, and family rock after a long and fruitful life of caring for others more than themselves most of the time, and who, through self sacrifice and fortitude, took every challenge that life threw at them, especially our challenges, and always seemed to make the best of it while helping us to find our way forward.
Although my time around your mom was short I want you to know that I admired her, and that I thought the world of both your parents for the love and kindness that they always seemed to show new friends of the kids, and strangers alike. Like my parents your mom and dad grew up in tough times, but made good lives for all of us throughout their own lives. Your mom and dad were a part of the "greatest generation", and to the end, despite many hardships and differences, made good lives for themselves and for your family. And again, like my mom, your mom was beautiful and strong and went out of her way till the end to protect and defend her family. which I will always admire.
May God Bless your mom and greet her warmly as she joins your dad, finally, in the place your mom pined for and the place we all hope to be when our time comes as well. My best to you all, Mark G

Sue, Melissa and family,
Our heart felt condolences on the passing of your Mother.
Grace was a wonderful person and it was a pleasure and a privilege to have known her and worked with her.
I shall never forget the Easter Sunday emergency surgery during which I was so demanding that I tested her patience to the point that a cuss word popped out of her mouth. She did not mince her words in chastising me for it. I will miss her.
May she rest in peace.
