I was really shocked when I received the message, that Grace passed away. There were so many really special memories I have about the time I could spend in Longview with Grace and der wonderful family. I will always remember the her as a very honorable and lovely person who shaped my life, when I was a guest in her house as a young boy. She was to me like a second mom, which I will never forget. You will always be in my thoughts and prayers.

We are so sad of hearing of the death of Grace, the grand old lady.We remember several visits in Möchengladbach,Washington,NY and the wonderful visit in Longview at the end of Marius stay in Grace' home for one year.Our family valued the warm welcome of the Thelenberg-family in Longview. Grace even organized a big Texas party with many guests.Grace was a wonderful second mother for our son for a whole year,we called her the American mother. In that time she took care of Marius so engaged and warm hearted. We loved and admired her care of so many people, her interest in travelling,foreign countries and the big family.
Grace death is a loss for all, perhaps the time will cure the loss at least.
