My sincere condolences to Ken, & Family, at the loss of Grace. Though we were quite a few years difference in age, I knew Grace, her parents & siblings well, because of numerous circumstances that brought our families together. I am saddened at your loss. May you be blessed with the Comforting Spirit.
