The family of Grace would like to thank the doctors and nurses on 3A at Western Memorial Regional Hospital for their excellent care and concern. Your services were greatly appreciated. Grace was an avid seamstress, sewer, quilter, and very proudly knit slippers as her way to say “thank you” to many people she met and knew. Grace was well known for sewing alterations amongst her community and met many people during that time. Grace spent the past year at Westmount Estates Home, enjoying her time there and making many friends along the way. Some nicknamed her “Celcius” which always gave her and them a chuckle.  A special thank you to Maxine and Joan Lewis for your caring and kindness to Mom over the years. We will be forever grateful.
