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.

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

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.
