Dear, sweet, Gracie I/we will miss you so much. Your name completely describes you....you're full of God's Grace. I will keep so many wonderful memories of you. I used to love to walk into town with you and get a grilled cheese and choc. milk....that is one of my favorite memories. I knew I always could come to your place to get away. I loved Sunday afternoons at your apartment when you would cook stringbeans and potatoes. I would play at your dresser with the makeup while you cooked. All one has to do to see your real beauty is to see the love Butch, Frank, and Bobby has for you. You are a devoted and loving mother, grandmother, greatgrandmother, aunt, and great aunt. You will live on in my heart until the day I see you again. For know I'm happy that you are starting your new life in the presence of God.
Until we see you again......with much love.
