I have known Grace, and played bridge with (and against) her for nineteen years during the winters. She was a true friend and a very special person. We have shared many good times and many laughs. I did have the privilege of having a short visit with Grace a few days after her final trip to Mesa. It was very pleasant. We talked about friends that we knew and I was able to say my final good-byes and give her my love. Grace was very special to me and to my friend, Cliff. He is disabled and she always had a hug for him. We send our sympathy to her family.
