Our deepest sympathies. Aunt Grace and Uncle Ron have been a touchstone in my life for as long as I can remember. Being a military family, like Mom and Dad and mine, we crossed paths and postings often throughout my life. With Doug, Darrell, Dan, and Steve being close to my age there were many times we cousins visited each other as I grew up as well as on into adulthood. With them retired in Trenton just a block away from Mom and Dad for most of my military career, every time I went home for a visit or was on course in Kingston and vising Mom and Dad on the weekends I always went over for a visit or they would come see me at Mom and Dads. It was always comfortable visiting Aunt Grace, surrounded by beautiful collectibles and the stability of a home settled and familiar. It seemed like every few years I was moving to another province and house but it always felt like home to go back to Trenton and all my family there. Many times over the years I went to her to order some favored makeup or beauty cream for Mom or Bev and I don‘t think she ever let me pay for any of it. When Bev and I were posted to Trenton in 2007 we saw Aunt Grace much more often. Whether it was at BBQ’s and family get togethers or just a Sunday dinner at Mom and Dads and Mexican Train after it was always fun visiting with her. Just don’t joke around too much when playing, games are a serious endeavor, pay attention and keep up or Aunt Grace would let you know you were slacking off. You could always tell when Aunt Grace was over visiting Mom and Dad by her car parked out front. It made me smile to think that she always drove the block and a half to their house even if that was the only place she was going that day. I will miss her welcoming arms and great hugs but know that her family and legacy will continue. I feel close to my cousins and look forward to seeing you all again soon. We are sorry we could not be there to morn with you but know that you are in our hearts and prayers. Love Lee and Bev
