On Tuesday 29, 2014 we lost Grace, a wonderful Wife, Mother, Sister, Aunt and we all lost a friend. Although we will all miss her so very much and she will be in our hearts forever, our love for her will remain in our heart and she will take that love with her and enter into the gates of Heaven smiling as she is greeted be loved ones who past before her and "The Lord" Himself. We are saddened by her passing but Grace is free of pain & worry and is in the best of hands. You have earned Your wings..... So fly among the stars......
