Address: Metairie, LA

First, my condolences to Darlene, Buddy and Kevin. I have nothing but the fondest memories from my youthful days living across the street from Ms Grace and Sal. Always accommodating but guiding as we tried to push the limits. What a sweet laugh ! I am truly blessed to have known her in this life. 
 Requiescat in Pace.

My dear friend Darlene...words cannot express what I want to say.  Your mother was so loving and caring.  I could talk to Miss Grace so much easier than my own mother.  I will cherish those times, and keep the memories in my heart forever.   She had a way about her, and she could always make us laugh.  You are in my thoughts and prayers during this time.  May she rest in peace in the arms of angels.

The years have passed and miles of separation but in thought and in my heart  Ms. Grace will always remain in my memories. She was truly one of the most open and giving human beings I have ever met and Ms. Grace set  the example for all of us to follow by the way she embraced life. I think about all the times we spent together, sitting in her kitchen, her laugh, the amazing meals she cooked, we were a lucky bunch of teenagers..to be able to share those times with her.

Grace was a good neighbor and a good friend.

My Mom, Earline Chaix, and Miss Grace have been friends for years. When Mom stopped driving, it was Grace who picked her up every day to go to the Pink House. I will always have fond memories of the days that Mom, Grace and Joy shared together. A very kind and loving person, Miss Grace I will surely miss your warmth and smile. God Bless you and thank you for all that you did for Mom. My prayers are with your loved ones at this time.        Sandra Chaix Bilello

I will always remember the sleep overs at Miss Grace's house. Darlene, Neacy, Kathy & I would sit at the dining room table until late at night. Miss Grace would be there and we would laugh and cut up . She always enjoyed talking to us.

My deepest sympathy on Grace's passing.  She remains one of the very fine memories of D'Gerolimo Kindergarten Center.  Now long gone, but still in my heart.   Marian Prigmore (Metairie, LA)

I first met Ms. Grace one day when I was about 11 yrs old and my grandmother and I were walking home from Schwegmann's on and extremely hot day. Ms. Grace offered my grandmother (Dorothy "Dottie" Schmitz) and I something to drink and to sit for a while before we continued on our walk home. From that day on, she and Ms. Grace were  extremely close friends and she became like a "Second Grandmother" to me. She was always ready to "rat the streets" with us. In my high school years, she'd pick me up from work and would bring me across the river to the seamstress to get my dresses made for all of the dances I went to. She was a very loving and giving person and I will miss her dearly, however, it does give me some consolation to know that she and my grandmother will now be together again in Heaven.

Darlene, Buddy, & Kevin - you and your families are in my thoughts and prayers. May God bless you all.

With Love, Alisha, Jason, and Dakota Erfle

It has been years, but Miss Grace will always be a part of my memory of my childhood. She and Mr. John were close friends of my parents (Albert & Florence Cook). He was a Bus Driver with my Dad. Then after I got married, I moved just a few blocks from Miss Grace. 
I will always remember just how sweet she was. My deepest sympathy goes out to Darlene, Buddy & Kevin.  God bless all of you and your family during this time.

I loved Miss Grace. She was fun to be around.  I loved to hear her laugh! When she yot mad she was mad, then she got over it and would start laughing about something  again.  I always admired her for that..

Miss Grace was a unique person to say the least.  I've missed seeing her the past few years but she has always been in my thoughts.  My prayers go out to all of her children and grandchildren.
