My condolences for the loss to you.

I Found this information while searching for family information.

I believe I may have met Grace, my grandmother's sister, once, almost 30 some years ago, while visiting my grandparents old summer home on the lake, up by Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

Deep sympathies to you for her loss.
