Grace Ellen Tate


,

Saddened to hear about Grace.

Tom, I was shocked and saddened to hear about Grace. If I would have known, I would have been at her service for sure. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Rev. George Whitton

She is and will be missed

Tom, I’m sorry to hear about Grace making her transition. She was a wonderful person and friend. Because I knew her my life was better. I will send in a donation to Beechwood Schools. I was in Sarasota, FL and missed her services.

Jerry Stricker

Deepest sympathy

Tom,
This morning thoughts of Grace and you came to me. We haven’t crossed paths in quite a while and I wondered how you were doing. I sadly found Grace’s obituary on the internet. Grace was such a beautiful person and had such a wonderful spirit. Deepest sympathy to you and your family. Sincerely,
Valerie Allendorf

So Sorry Tom

I’m so sorry Tom I truly loved Grace’s enormous light and kindness. I always felt comfortable with her when we were together in a room I loved her smile and Grace’s spirit and her smile will live with me always. I will miss Grace and I hope you will come back to the vegan potlucks!! My prayers are with you Tom and your family. RIP Grace!!

Peace

We lost a great friend, Grace Tate.Grace was a personal friend and mentor and an inspiration to us for many many years.We think of Grace and her husband Tom as the best couple ever. She was a quiet activist for peace, kindness, compassion and tolerance. She respected all people of diverse backgrounds and beliefs. She had a passion for life, gardening, vegan cooking, yoga and all the living creatures.She and Tom lifted up so many of us in so many ways. Grace looked at life as a gift and saw the good in all of us. Her bubbly enthusiastic personality encouraged us to have fun and love life and be kind to ourselves as well as others.
She will be fondly remembered and missed.
Blessings and Love,
John and Claudia

Tom, so sorry!!!

Tom so sorry to hear that you lost your dear wife, Grace. Although I didn’t know her well, she always seemed to be very nice and seemed to be such a good ‘fit’ for you. God bless and have a good new year, though I know from experience, that it will a rough go for awhile.
Best regards, Jim Morrison.

To the Tate family

Grace was always a beacon of sunshine and will be missed. Her circle of compassion always included animals, and she was an encouragement for others to go vegan.
Tom and Jayn Meinhart
