Debbie (Grist) Whicker My love and prayers to you all in this loss. Though I didn’t get to see Aunt Grace very often I will always remember her smile and laughter and her ability to sit down at a piano or organ and play by ear, such a gift. We will see her again in Heaven.

Denise Ward My sincere condolences to you all for your loss. Heaven has a beautiful new angel to watch over you all ❤️
I first met Grace at the church I attended as a child in the 70’s & was fortunate enough to hear her play the piano bringing joy to everyone around her. She was a lovely person and a delight to be around.
Keep your memories close to your heart & she will always be with you. Sending you all hugs & much love

Bryan and Elizabeth Peebles Our sincere sympathy to Aunt Grace’s family. She truly was an amazing lady with a zest for life and adventure. She could tell wonderful stories about her experiences, and with such a sense of humour! Many of her adventurous holidays were all documented in photo albums. We’ll meet again in heaven where there is no sickness, no foggy minds, no tears. Much love for an aunt we loved, Bryan and Elizabeth Peebles
My fondest memory of Aunt Grace is watching her and Aunt Lois doing the Macarena dance. This was many years ago but it still brings a smile to my face. I remember thinking at the time that I had the coolest aunts ever. I still think that. My love to all, Shelly
