Grace Kiser will truely be missed. I enjoyed getting to know her over the past few years. She was a wonderful and sweet lady,that always had a way of making me laugh. I remember she would get to laughing as she would share stories with me,about her loving and very devoted husband Ben and other family members she loved and adored so much. And pretty soon she would have me laughing too. Her smile I will never forget. I feel very fortunate to have been able to know Grace. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
