A special thank you…
~ Grimm ~
We, the family of the late Alice Grimm, wish to express our heartfelt thanks to those who showed their support by sending food, flowers, cards, the many texts and phone calls and kind words. This was and is a very difficult time and your thoughtfulness is greatly appreciated. To Gerry Getz for officiating the service, your words of comfort and understanding were felt by our family and for that we are grateful. We extend our gratitude to those who participated in the service: Amanda McCallum for the wonderful tribute and to Dayna Grimm for preparing the video of cherished memories. We were sincerely moved by the care and attention that Mom received while at Meadow Ridge Seniors Village. We acknowledge Shooting Start Events for providing the wonderful lunch following the celebration. Thank you to our funeral director, David Stroh, of Cook Southland Funeral Chapel for your guidance and professional mannerism. We are truly blessed to have such good friends and family in our lives to help us get through this difficult time.
