My heart is filled with sadness learning of Grace’s passing. In my 12 years of public accounting, Grace was my favorite client and was saddened to find this news. I know she will be missed by many. I always looked forward to talking with her because she was so passionate about her family. Kory and family my thoughts and prayers are will all of you.

My heartfelt condolence and prayers to Korey, Dylan and all of Grace’s family. I know without a doubt that Grace is now at peace, and is joined once again with her beloved Ted and other departed family members.
Grace and I felt like soul sisters. We were the dearest of friends and shirt tail cousins. She seemed like an angel to me and all of my friends felt the same about her. She was extremely generous to people we met that were needy. She was a beautiful kind person. I loved her deeply and I will miss her.
We are very saddened at the news of Graces passing. She was an amazing woman with a great spirit! Your family is in our thoughts and prayers at this very difficult time. We are sorry for your loss.
Grace was my first cousin. I will never forget spending summers with her, my other cousins, aunt, uncle, and grandparents at the cabin. I always marveled at her adventurous spirit and her love of life. She was a gifted seamstress, and I was very fortunate to receive a hand-made hand-me-down every now and then. She will be missed.

I am a cousin – my mother was Doris (Haines) and I am saddened to hear about Grace’s passing. I know that she struggled, but apparently kept a positive outlook and connections happening.
After visiting Aunt Pearle in California the past year, I heard about their long-distance, but regular movie “dates” and thought they must have a close relationship. Sorry I never had the opportunity to meet her.
Many condolences and much peace, Sandy Agustin in Mpls
I had the occasion to meet Grace last year in California.
A very nice person. My best wishes go out to Korey, and family.
