While gathering photos of the cousins for the Family Book Project in January of 2023, Margaret Konstantas-Ritter shared some old family photos with me. They were a treat because one of them was a photo of the Washington Boulevard house that our parents grew up in. There were also several very old photos of our parents, aunts and uncles and our grandfather, John J. Grace.

In October of 2023, the Konstantas family orchestrated a special 40th anniversary Mass for our dear Aunt Anne in St. Clement’s Church on 2nd Avenue in Lansdowne to commemorate her life and achievements, her journey and spirituality. It was a beautiful tribute to a remarkable woman. Afterward, Clare Konstantas-Wieber also shared some old family photos. They were also wonderful and contained many photos of our parents, aunts and uncles and our grandparents, John J. and Margaret Grace. I had never seen any of them.

The purpose of this section is to share with all of you what they shared with me. Thank you Margaret! and Thank you Clare!
