Comments Will always remember her kindness and helpfulness in the doctor's office when I would come in with one or more of the boys for an appointment. I remember she " called me "Margy" which was a nickname only family used for me then so she became like a family member to me as well. Even when she was contending with her own health problems, there was still a smile for everyone. Never got to hear her play the mandolin but I know she enjoyed it a lot. She will be missed by all who knew her. Margaret Hartman - November 21, 2011 at 04:54 PM Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I remember Grace so well in the good old days of going to Dr. Rea.
