Grace Armand Resident of So. San Francisco This is my personal public statement about a woman that I've known and loved for many years, my wife Grace. Grace Busterna Armand passed away on March 24, 2010 after a three year battle against cancer. Grace was loved and cherished by family and friends whom she has known for many of her eighty (80) years. She was born in San Francisco to Dr. Leonard Busterna and Margaret Monahan Busterna on January 29, 1930. Left behind is her husband Alfred Scaccalosi Armand whom she married fifty eight (58) years ago and her three children, Karen Michele Armand, Leslie Anne Cesarz and Kenneth Alfred Armand. Her three grandchildren who will miss her dearly are Danielle, Greg and Andrew, the children of Frank and Leslie Cesarz. They all adored Grace. She was also so proud of her two great-grandchildren, Alexis Grace Cesarz and Liv Mariella Stevenson. They brought her much happiness. She also leaves behind her sister, Margaret (Margy) Alphin and nephews, Steve and Randy Rice and Rich and Bob Guglielmetti all of whom she held dear in her heart.
