So very sorry to hear about Grace's sudden passing.
Grace and I were co-workers for many years at the U of S, Culinary Services. We worked together at the Tim Horton's location in the Arts building aka 'Tims in the Tunnel'.
Grace was a trooper! She NEVER EVER called in sick,even though there were times she was in a lot of pain due to injuries she sustained some years ago in a terrible car accident.
She was never ever late for work, although if she showed up only five minutes before her shift started, she considered that late.
And I will never forget the coupons she would bring to Sandra and I for cinnamon buns from Safeway, because she knew how much we loved them.
But my fondest memories of Grace, and I know the girls at Timmies would agree, would be some of the sayings Grace had.
When something happened that didn't please her, she would say, "What in the H E double hockey sticks is that supposed to mean."
Or
When she didn't agree with something being said ,she would say, "Hooooold the Bussssss!"
Or
When something happened that clearly shouldn't have, she would say,"Well unfortunately, you can't fix stupid!"
Those are the memories that will always put a smile on our faces, and no one will be able to say them as Grace would have. You were one of a kind Grace!
So on behalf of myself and the Tim's girls,
So long, thanks for the memories
May you Rest in Peace
