[monaco70s]

I'm glad to see that you liked the pics I posted Ianna & Piewi I'll post more later.

 

[Regina]

So many good pics, monaco70s, thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!

 

[Lillia]

Does anyone know if there is a picture of Grace with any of her grandchildren (I do not know if that is a silly question or not). Did she ever get to know any of them?

 

[budge9]

Grace died before any of her grandchildren were born.

 

[Lillia]

oh. I think it would have been nice for them to know their grandmother. Grandmothers are very nice to have around.

 

[monaco70s]

You're welcome Regina

 

[iceflower]

oh. I think it would have been nice for them to know their grandmother. Grandmothers are very nice to have around.

Indeed she would have loved them all deeply...So sad..
But one can not say in general that it is nice to have
grandmothers around. That always depends..
As I choosed one pic with each child and Rainier last time,
this time they are all with Grace

 

[monaco70s]

Wonderful pics. The one of Grace & Albert dancing at 1979's Red Cross Ball has always been one of my favorites. The last one is also a great pic!

Smile

Smile..

A smile doesn't need a language, it only needs the heart..
It costs nothing but creates much..

It enriches those who receive it, without impoverishing

those who give it..

It happens in a moment but memory sometimes lasts forever..




P.S. Iceflower you posted such great photos..Especially liked Stephanie with Grace..great caught moment..
Nina, nice photos too..

 

[monaco70s]

Thanks for posting those pics from Kell's 1981 wedding Ice Sadly his marriage didn't last a lot since he died in 1985.

 

[nina86lila]

Ianna you have a great idea !!!!
I love the poeme and the photos !! I think it's very important to think at the good moment and see them on photos when you're in adifficult moment as now !!
I wish that Stephanie, Caroline, Albert and the whole family can smile again as in the past !

Besides that nice pics laurixa, especially the first one!

Great pics Ice as always. Kell died from a heart attack while jogging in 1985.

 

[Ianna]

Great poem Ianna Who did it? And great pics also!

Thanx everybody for nice comments. Monaco, that poem I had written in some of mine birthday cards, it's on Croatian so I translated one part of it. I don't know the author, but it is so beautiful. Nina , liked those you said about difficult times and need to smile again. Iceflower, great photos (as always )
Monaco, I didn't know that Grace's brother died just few years after Grace. Sad for family

Pic 1. Grace with brother and children..Look at that chubby face of Albert..Cutie..
Pic 2. Caroline with mother, grandmother and aunt (Peggy?)

 

[monaco70s]

It is surely a very nice poem! Great pics Ianna, it's nice to see pics like these of them with Grace's family.
