You could always be assured of a good laugh with Auntie Grace in the room. Whether she was feeling well or even terrible, she could always make you laugh. She was also resilient...one of the many reasons we called her "Amazing." Being loved seemed far less important to her than loving...all of us. She had 26 neices & nephews to keep track of & keep track she did. She wanted to be the family peace-maker, so it is incumbent on the lot of us to follow her example & mind her wishes. She wanted us to love, cherish & care for each other. We owe it to her to at least try. I love you, Auntie Grace. You have made me a believer & I will try because you want me to.

Aunt Grace was a gentle soul. Even in her poor health she always stay connected and cared about others. I could never hold a candle to her nor would I ever try! I always heard from my mom all the kindness she showed her, especially when my brother was young and very ill. You were a lot of fun and a very good listener! God bless you Aunt Grace and I love you !

To my favorite Godmother, I will have many, many wonderful memories. You gave me so much. I cherish this past year, but I will always wish that I had time to do more for you and with you. You touched so many lives with your humor, your spunk, and your kindness. You were indeed our "Amazing Grace". I am very proud to have known you. I Love You.
