It is with a heavy heart that we share our beloved Patricia has passed away. She went peacefully at St. Vincent's Hospital surrounded by her her husband Henry Grass, son Joshua Grass and daughter Laura Weigle. She has been battling various health issues this year and can now rest.
She contributed so much to the book arts community and the city of Forest Grove. She was always ready to help anyone with an art question that came into her store. She loved to share her passion for art with her students and inspired many to pursue book arts. Patricia had a thirst for knowledge and an unending curiosity about the world. She will be greatly missed.
For the time being the store will remain closed but we hope to reopen in September. There will be a service for her in the beginning of September, we will share the details soon.I would like to personally thank everyone who was in my mothers life, this store and classroom was a source of great joy for her and brought her great fulliment.
