Pete was a womanizer and apparently caused some real problems for Grace. Grace kept letters other women (whom she called picadillos) who wrote her about Pete. There is some question about Mary Grace's story. It may have been that Grace herself needed the appendectomy. Margaret remembers Lorraine as having a cyst in her breast that needed to be removed but nothing that would have required selling the cottage.
Grace paid about $1.50 twice monthly for the grave sites where she, Pete, her mother Annie, and her Aunt Agnes are all buried. There is no tombstone.
