Lastly, she leaves a sweet and living legacy of six great grandchildren: Aidan, Anna, Liahni , Emma, Isaac and Alexandria. Grethe was a member of Mt.

Many thanks to those who cared for Grethe throughout these past years…by visiting her, bringing her another blanket and cup of coffee, playing music for her…and finally, keeping her comfortable and always “great”.
