Grace and I were not only cousins but also best friends. We also got married on the same day, Nov.23-1963, in the same church. Grace got married in the morning and I in the afternoon. We lost touch for many years, married life and having children took our lives in different directions. We finally found each other again and never lost touch since. Grace I will miss you, but now you are resting in God's hands along with all your loved ones. Rest In Paradise dear cousin. <3 - Posted by: Frances Marjorie Starr (Cousin) on: Jan 15, 2014

Grace and I first met when we started nursing school together in 1984, we became fast friends and studied together. Later in the years after we had graduated from nursing, we kept in touch and when she started working at the care home in Sagkeeng, I applied there and we started commuting back and forth every day from there and Wpg. She was one of my very good friends and I will miss her. She used to talk about her family all the time. We shared a lot of laughter and she would call me all the time. Just recently, we've kind of lost touch but I never forgot her. I want to send my sincere condolences to the family. Grace was a very good friend who loved her family a lot. - Posted by: Patricia Urrutia (friend,co-worker) on: Jan 15, 2014
