You were such an amazing woman whose heart and home were always open to everyone. I wish I could have had the chance to say good bye and thank you for all the many years of friendship and laughter you brought to my life. You helped me grow up, you let me be a part of your family and babysit your grandchildren, you even let me live with you when I needed a place in town to stay. You were my good advice through my first relationship and you helped me with my wedding and were always there with a laugh and a smile that just lit your face up. You made the world a better place by your kindness and joy in yourself and always seeing the best in other people. We will always love you LaGrace...and you will never be forgotten.

You Miss LaGrace was the most nonjudgmental people I have ever met. When other people would talk bad about someone you would always tell me "we do not know what other people are going through". You would light up my life. Going to miss you, heck I have for the past year. Our loss is heaven's gain. Love you, Bob, Aaron, Julie, Rachael, Paula. Godspeed LaGrace.

Some people have a distinct way of making life better for everyone they meet. Aunt LaGrace was that person...kind and generous...loving and giving. She gave me the courage to move to Pensacola and as a result I met my husband. She was my matron-of-honor at my wedding and made my beautiful bouquet that I still have and my daughter will use someday. She will be with me as a handprint on my heart forever. Uncle Bob, thank you for bringing this wonderful lady into our lives...Chamaine and Aaron...thanks for sharing her with us. When we lose someone we love, it always takes time to cope with all the sadness and the changes. Please know you are not alone...all my love...
