My prayers are with you Kevin and your family at this time. Grace was a teacher of mine and a recent Associate of the Sisters of St. Francis. She was a wonderful, caring person and I know she enjoys peace and happiness now with God.

Please accept my deepest sympathies on the loss of Grace. She was a lovely woman. I first met her at the Newman Center and again just recently when I joined the associates of St. Francis O.S.F. I am sure that God has a special place waiting for her in heaven. Susan Burkard

My heartfelt condolences to all of Grace's family and friends at this difficult time.

I first met Grace when she took a course from me at Christ the King Seminary in 1996, and we became friends through the diocesan Women's Commission Spirituality Committee. Grace was a woman of remarkable spiritual insight and depth. The courage, faith and good cheer with which she dealt with her illness was a profound inspiration to her friends.

I want to express my condolences to family and to all who I cannot be with this week, due to my vacation. I am sorry to be away at this time, but maybe Grace can share with me in a way she could never have before. We will miss her, but know she's in a much better place. Requiestat in pace!
