I had the unique experience of working with Grace for a number of years. She was kind and giving of herself to many kids who were in need of so much in their troubled lives. Grace was compassionate and encouraging, when most had given up on these wayward youth. She had a way of making them believe in themselves and instilling in them a desire to turn their lives around. Grace became a loyal and
trusted friend to me and I will truly miss our friendship.

I met Grace through a mutual friend several years ago. We spent an enjoyable evening together just chatting, laughing and sharing "girl talk". Grace impressed me as such a kind and generous person. She will be missed.
