Leah Achen wrote a sympathy message

“My heart is heavy to learn she has passed. Grace was like an Aunt to my father, Robert Achen. She and Fred would stop through to see us in Sidney & I know my Dad is hugging her in heaven. She did so much, for so many, in such a loving and no-nonsense way. I will never forget her beehive hairdo & her wildflower garden at the home she and Fred lived in for years, and her letters each and every year during Christmas - I have saved them all. Rest peacefully - you will never be forgotten. Leah”
