To know Grace, was to know a true Lady. She was a true Christian, and a good friend. Her family, friends, and anyone who knew her have lost a part of themselves. She will be greatly missed, but she has gone to be with the Lord, and we should all be comforted with that thought. Be at peace sister-in-Christ, for in Christ, we will never die. Patrick and Carolyn Howard.
