"Princess Grace" was my special name for this gracious, lovely lady. We shared 18 years of working together for Look Good Feel Better. Grace was a talented artist when it came to applying makeup. Everyone she touched glowed under her artistry. We had great fun together, shared a lot of laughs and a few tears. She never complained even when she had a legitimate cause. She was tasteful, stylish and chic. A dear and wonderful friend. My heart goes out to her girls, Penny & Vaunette and their families, for the loss of their dear,loving mother. Lorri Walker
