She always showed up with her bucket and cleaning rags and eager to go to work. Grace loved growing flowers, especially roses and would sit watching the glorious birds in the morning at her feeders while having her coffee. She made delicious, meticulously decorated sugar cookies for every holiday and granddaughters' weddings and close friends looked forward to receiving a tin of her cookies for Christmas.
