To the White Family, and all The MacMillans,
My deepest sympathy to each of you as you grieve the loss of Grace. The last time I saw her was at Laurie Milley’s funeral. Honestly it had been a long time since I saw her…..but that day it was like I had just seen her, she made me feel so welcome that day, and I have not forgotten her hospitality.
As family and as friends I hope you feel her presence with you as you mourn her loss and celebrate her life
In Sympathy and Prayer

To all of Grace's family,
Our hearts are broken and we share deeply in your sadness in your loss of Grace. The strong bond between the MacMillan and Milley families throughout the years was, and is, nothing short of extraordinary. We were not only neighbors and friends, but actual family to each other. We are grateful each and every day for that special relationship. It always entailed loving and enjoying each other as well as lending a helping hand whenever it was needed. Most recently we think of the amazing love, care and kindness shown by Mary, Peggy, Grace, and Shauna & Darrin when our Aunt Rita was getting ready to leave this world. Even 'Peanut' brought great joy to her coming for his almost daily treats. We will be forever grateful for all they did for her in her last years here. Please know we are keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers and holding you in our hearts as you go through this very difficult time. We know you will find comfort and solace in the love and caring of family and friends and in your many wonderful memories of happier times.
With all our love and our deepest sympathy,
Florence & Isabel
