I’ve been fortunate to meet a few amazing people in my life and Mr. Grundy was one of them. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I will always remember the kindness and wonderful smile of Mr. Grundy. I always felt very welcome in the Grundy home which I know came from the love and warmth of a happy family. Even though it’s been many, many years since I visited, I will always cherish the happy memories. You have my most sincere sympathies and my family and I will keep you all in my prayers.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. May god bless you.
With sympathy for Chlo and all her family, I remember Stan as a cheerful and helpful co-worker throughout my years at CF&I. Every time I saw him he had a big smile and a cheerful disposition. May you find solace in your memories of many happy years together.
We are so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all family members and friends of the Grundy’s.
I will keep the Grundy family in my thoughts and prayers in the days to come. I am so sorry for your loss.
Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. We love all of you.
