We thought of you with love today, but that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday, and days before that too.
We always speak your name, now all we have are memories and your picture in a frame.
Your memories are our keepsake, with which we will never part.
God has you in His keeping, we have you in our hearts.
Our heartfelt thanks to the staff of Merindah Lodge for your wonderful care of Grace over the last 5 1/2 years. Your professionalism, caring nature and joyful personalities lit up her life every day. We know she has a special place in your hearts, she was your ‘Gracie’. We will be forever grateful for the extra love and attention you gave our mum and nan, each of you in your own special way. Grace thought so much of you all. Special thanks to Dr. John Menzies for your care of Grace for so many years and making her last days as comfortable as possible and respecting her wishes.

The loveliest, strongest & wittiest woman I knew. I loved hearing Grace stories from Fi each time she saw or spoke to you. Your charm & adoration of your family was beautiful as was the shrine in your home to your grand-daughters & great-grandchildren. Give your cheeky husband & the Rounds ladies a cuddle for me & I’ll be forever grateful Simone introduced us. Rest easy delightful Grace ❤️

Grace was a treasure who made me welcome as a new teacher at Derri High. Always ready for a chat, but never stopping work. I remember Grace’s love for gardening and the many hours she and Don spent next door in the garden, when Sandra and Laurence were flat out working and raising Fiona and Simone.
Thinking of you all, and the wonderful memories that you will share. -
Our thoughts go out to Lawrence and family at this very sad time. We hold loving memories of Auntie Grace may she rest in peace finally reunited with Uncle Don. Treasured memories of those precious days gone by. Rest in Peace forever in our hearts.
