Tom, John and families...what a great loss. Gracie was so loved and I know you will miss her beautiful presence. She was the kindest, most thoughtful, giving soul and treated everyone with kindness and respect. She was humble and classy. In my opinion, Gracie and Bill were responsible for the happiness of the majority of children of northern Kentucky for generations with their beloved Johnny's Toy Store. We all have an accumulation of memories of this great lady and will keep those memories close. She was a perfect sister to mom and a loved aunt to me and my sibs. Blessings to you.
