Grace Louise Shirey

We received news this morning that Jeff's maternal Grandmother, Grace Shirey, passed away. Our Gracie is named after this Great-Grandma. We are sad, but know that she has been struggling for some time with her health. Jeff's parents have spent the last several days with his family in PA. We are not sure of funeral arrangements yet, but are in the midst of trying to make plans to drive up to PA for the funeral.

Grandma and Grandpa Shirey had their 62nd wedding anniversary on Sunday.

Saddened to hear this news of the loss of Jeffs Grandma and Luke, Ben and Gracies Great Grandma. The trips you made to see her and the memories you have will become more precious as each day unfolds. Praying for comfort for all of you as you make plans to be together to celebrate her life. Love you all, Mom K...Grammy

Oh, we are so sorry. Jeff, we know how hard this must be for you especially...know that we are praying for all of you. I'm so glad Gracie got to have a picture taken with her namesake. We love you all.
