In 1952, Grace met the love of her life, John, in Italy. 58 years of marriage, 4 kids and seven grandkids later, they built a big life made of love, surrounded by family, chaos, and Sunday dinners. Grace was a fiery pistol, she carried herself with poise, and filled every room with her presence. Known as everyone's favorite grandma, she left a piece of her spirit in all those that crossed her path. To have known Grace, was to love her. Her legacy lives on in each of us, and she will be deeply missed.
