On July 8th, Dave's Great Aunt Grace passed away at the young age of 103. To celebrate her life we attended a memorial service on July 23, 2011 in Ogden, Utah. The memorial service was officiated by Elder Donna McGill and attended by friends and family and included songs that remind us of Grace, including Amazing Grace and Home on the Range. It also included Grace's Great Niece Amy reading a poem written by her brother Mark in honor of Grace's 100th birthday as well as a reading of Mary Frye's "Do not stand at my grave and weep" by Dave.
We have many fond memories of Grace and the fun times that were spent with the Gibbons Family visiting her. Grace's had been the place that we all came together. Sadly, part of the weekend was spent cleaning out the house decorated in pink and fancy light switches as it will be placed for sale in the near future. We feel fortunate to have many fond memories to look back on of Grace and our time with her. Grace we hope that you are at peace and have been reunited with your love, Leon.
