My deepest condolences over the loss of Grace. The loss of a loved one leaves such a void in our lives. As we mourn. our hearts and minds tell us death is not normal; it’s not right. No wonder; because death is God’s enemy. (1 Corinthians 15:26) Mercifully, God in his infinite wisdom has made arrangements through his Son Christ Jesus to resurrect our loved ones to paradise. March 26, 2013 after sundown is the actual anniversary of the death of our Lord Christ Jesus. His death and resurrection gives us the reassurance that our loved ones will gain life again. May you find solace in this promise. May it comfort you as it gives hope for a future when death will be no more. (John 5:28, 29; Revelation 21:3, 4; Matthew 5:5) May the God of all comfort bring you and your family peace.

MY MOTHER
You painted no Madonnas,on chapel walls in Rome,but with a touch diviner, you lived one in your home.
You wrote no lofty poems that critics counted art,but with a nobler vision,you lived them in your heart.
You carved no shapeless marble, to some high soul design, but with a finer sculpture,you shaped this soul of mine.
You built no great cathedrals, that centuries applaud, but with a Grace exquisite, your life cathedraled God.
Had I the gift of Raphael or Michael Angelo, O what a rare Madonna, My mother's life would show.
I Love You More

Gracie was such a special, wonderful and caring person, and she will truly be missed by so many.
I'm sure she's already in Heaven playing Bingo with Jack's mom and yelling for the caller, "Come on, shake 'em up!"
With love and sympathy,

God bless you Grace my beautiful neighbor and friend. We missed you so when you moved from your home to Valley Health. When it came to neighbors and a good friend no one comes close. Your with God now no more pain and seeing your husband after all these years. I bet Joey was first waiting for you his mom he loved so. My prayers and thoughts are with all Gracies family for their loss at this time. She lived a long happy life and I know I will see her again someday. Over 20 years living next door to you Gracie has been such a pleasure and joy. I always enjoyed our chats together out in your side yard. The Hoffman family loves you and will always be in our hearts.

Grace was one of the first neighbors I met when I moved to Ilion in 1968. She enjoyed watching me pull my little boy, Michael, in the wagon when I was expecting my next son,Tony, but cautioned not to pull too hard. Grace was so caring, always inviting me in to chat when I went by. She could be very quiet, but interested in what others had to say. She had the art of listening. Today, that is a lost art. She will be missed. Her wisdom lives on. You couldn't help but love Grace.

Dear Sam and Family, So sorry to hear of Gracie's death. I was in Texas and did not know she passed. I remember her as a sweet, gentle, loving lady with a wonderful sense of humor. She and my Mom worked together and had a lot of fun and I'm sure they are enjoying each other's company in Heaven. May all of your wonderful memories sustain you now.
