Grace F. Backstrom-Rice

Sophisticated, elegant and articulate and so so cute and funny. What a marvelous sense of flair and beautiful spirit. The first time I met Gracie at the beauty shop, I was terrified of her and how to do her hair (her way!), but after that first innitiation, she was my favorite lady. She was so proud of you kids and all your life's processes; she'd go on and on and on. After the 60's whenever I would run into her, she was always bubbling over and so glad to see me, as I was to see her. ...

Pam,
Sending you my best. I loved your mom and have many fond memories of times in her house. I've lost both of my folks in the past few years and know how difficult it is lose someone who influenced you and your life so much.
Gracie was always a lady first and foremost.
