#1 Patti Mcpherson Hagemann 2013-02-13 02:57 My deepest sympathy to Art and to the family. Grace was a beautiful woman and loved by many- she was a part of my growing up in the Lutheran church, great friends of my mother and father. It's so difficult to lose anyone but at last she has found paradise and will be waiting there for you when you are called to heaven, God bless all, peace to broken hearts…Patricia Mcpherson Quote
