Mrs. Grauer will always be remembered by me for her positive attitude and friendly atmosphere. My friend and former employer/teacher, Bob Mazzotta, introduced me to her and always spoke highly of her. I looked forward to going to her residence to talk with her and to trim that privet hedge (my first one) and other trimming Bob and I performed. Bob has been passed since 1997 and I regret that I did not make it to see and speak with her recently. I travel by the house often and everything is centimental to me. She knew I first started my little league years with Grauers Trucking. Her inspiration will always be present.

Jeanne,
It was good seeing you and your family today. Your mom meant a lot to James, Brian, and me. I’m so glad that we were able to share time with her. She really enjoyed the lakehouse, and I’m glad that she was able to spend time there. I know my mom has missed her as they always had someplace to go-on a minute’s notice. They had fun, and I enjoyed spending time with your them. James felt bad that he could not come to calling hours nor the funeral. Brian sends regards from Las Vegas, where he is living now. Take care and know that we all felt close to your mom.
Greg
