“Carl and family, I am in shock having seen Grace recently. The struggles she had to go through and all your beautiful caregiving and love had to mean a lot. Her garden speaks volumes to her spirit. She will remain so much a part of you. I am in town and would love to help in any way I can. All my heart goes out to you. Tom Balbo”
