Grace Darcy--a lady for whom I cared a great deal and for whom I had the utmost respect, one who worked tirelessly for those causes in which she believed, and someone who always made our encounters a positive occurrence--will be missed by many. The world is surely a better place because of her.

Grace was an extraordinary inspiration to so many of us. She cared and worked hard to protect rights of women, animals and wild places. She also founded the fabulous Carmel Valley Women's Network and created the Paula B. Wainright Peace and Justice Award.
