Our Dearest Nonna Grace, your home was always such a warm, lively, welcoming and safe place. Nothing made you happier than to be surrounded by your family whilst you entertained everyone from your kitchen. You showed us that hard work brings about great rewards and doing things for others without expectation was the most important of all. Thank you for being an exceptional example of how to live. What a blessing it has been to be loved by you. We will miss you forever and thank God every day that you were our nonna. Love your grandchildren Joyce, Joe, Angela, Vince, Loretta, Samuel, Robert and Rosemarie and your great grandchildren Orlando, Carla, Isaac, Natalia (deceased), Olivia, Nicholas, Julian, Alana and Annalise.

Dear Nonna Grace, what fun we had growing up under your watchful eye and generous heart! You taught us about life through your inner strength and perseverance. We will forever cherish the happiness and joy you held in your heart and home for us. Love you always - Danielle, Paul, Joseph, Alyssa, Adriana; Rebecca, Carlo, Francesca, Serafina, Domenic; Matthew.

Nonna, thank you for teaching us strength, showing us unconditional love and always making sure we never left your table hungry. We will love you forever and stand proud carrying on the legacy you and Nonno created together. Forever in our hearts and thoughts. Christopher, Emmanuel and Stephanie Costanzo.
