    The two sisters are together now filling each other in on the news, sharing hugs and kisses with many! I have so many tails I like so tell. But we all knew Grace, when we gather at Wildcat I always expect to see her and Delores. Life changes us inside and out but that is our journey!I still feel like a community member and my community is something I hang on to! I’m not well enough to come and be with you but know you are all in my heart and prayers! Love and be kind to each other

    To all of Graces,s family:
    So very sorry to learn of Graces passing. Please accept my sincerest condolence. Grace was a very kind and thoughtful
    person. Driving by my place, she would usually toot the horn, and occasionally stop a minute for a chat. Always remember her dropping off an apple pie for me at Christmas, or a box of chocolates and card, in my mail box other years. She and her sister Delores were so much alike , so thoughtful. Delores would occasionally drop in with a lemon
    cake for me, when she would make her weekly trips to the Nursing Home with baked goods. I would share some beans in season or garden vegs. May they,re memories live on

    To Grace’s Family So sorry to hear of “Grace’s” passing she was a woman that when she had her mind set, that was how it was going to be. I worked under Grace’s guidance when I was involved with projects through Native Women. I grew up beside them knowing the younger members rather than the older siblings, but we all knew each other. May your memories keep her close.

    Grace was a very mentally and physically strong person who dealt with lots of stressful situations in her personal and work life. Grace and her sister Dolores and I were friends since I was a teenager in Liverpool. It had been quite awhile since I had seen or heard from them but one day in December a few years ago they both arrived at my front door. They brought me native crafts that they had made and gave them to me for Christmas. That meant alot to me. No matter what type of physical or emotional pain they were experiencing they always made
    time to help others. They were very special people to me and will be missed.
