Auntie Doris and Family,
I know how much Gracey meant to you and your family and all the love and support she gave you through these many years. She will be deeply missed. Gracey always wore a smile and always showed concerned for others. God took home another Angel.

My deepest condolances to Grace's family. She was my neighbor when I grew up on Chelsea Street. I remember her always sitting on her front steps in the summer and being there to talk to. I know she will be missed

Heaven just received a new angel and her name is Gracey. There is only so much one person can do and Gracey did it all. She made you laugh, smile, feel loved and always made you feel welcomed. No matter how bad she felt or how sick, she always wanted to know how you were and your family. There wasn't anything selfish about Gracey, she was a joy to be around. She filled all our hearts with love, now she is sharing and giving all her love forever in Heaven. It was an honor to have known her for the past 33 years. God Bless & Love You, your (adopted) daughter, Robbin xoxo

I just want you to know that I could not have asked for a better mother in-law. For 39 years you have been very special to me and have been more like a mother to me. My children could not have asked for a more loving grandmother. You will be sorely missed and I am so grateful to you for everything you have done for me and my family. I will always love you and you will forever remain in my heart. I know you are finally at peace now and are looking down at us to make sure we are safe. You will never be forgotten.
