Grace was my second Mom in my neighborhood. I grew up with all of her sons and treated me like one too. She had a great family because she was a great mom. I used to eat breakfast with my Dad at 5 am every morning, then I would go over to Graces house to see when the boys were going to wake up, imagine it was 6am and they were still sleeping. I would sit on the curb in front of her house and wait for life in the house to come outside and it was always Grace who came out to get the paper and invite me to eat cereal with all of her sons. Great memories for a great person. I am sorry to all the Nuanes and Moyas for their loss, she will be missed.
