Not sure what to say?

She was a beautiful woman inside & out, and I had the pleasure of knowing her (and Ralph, Jr.) for a short time in my late 20's as an adult although she knew my parents (before I was born) very well. Philip Sadio (passed in 1987) and Mildred (mom remarried). Saddened you are gone Gwen. Sending so many blessings of love to the Grant family.

I will always have wonderful memories of Dr. Grant. She was so classy, so real, so inspiring. She counseled so many sisters. She was our go to Psychologist. Her radio show was objective and informative. She had such a great sense of humor, and she always remembered her roots. She never forgot her community. When I needed advice, I went to Dr. Grant. When I needed a passionate, inspirational speaker for conferences and workshops, I went to Dr. Grant. She was always ready and willing to...

Thank you so very much for being such a blessing to me when we were on The Oprah Show together. We rode in the limousine together on the way to and from the show and your wise, beautiful words helped me before and especially after the show. I remember you giving me an assuring nod between the commercial break when I was so nervous. You have helped many people and your graceful elegance and brilliant mind are sorely missed.

Today as I reflect on my life my dance teacher who I will never forget flashed to mind... Miss Goldsby at the time at Ashland School in E.O. was one of the greatest instructors. I see She went on and had a great life.
I am sad to know of her passing. I know this is very late but my condolences to the family..

Gwendolyn Goldsby Grant did wonders for my self esteem. When I was a teenager, and of course teenagers are usually perpetually unsure of themselves, Mrs Grant preached at my church one particular Sunday. This angel we are honoring came down from the pulpit in the middle of her sermon and walked over to me, grabbed me by the hand, and with the most pleasant smile on her countenance she told me that I was going to be famous and that my gifts would be used for the Glory of God. I was so filled...

Not only did Dr.Goldsbyimpact the lives of three generations of women, she also encouraged me tocontinue, as a man, to speak out on the issues of violence against women fromwhere I saw the problem. My book, For We Are Strangers whichhighlights the conflict between men and women and my play, Girls Knight Out@the Mall. which is now in rehearsal, is about God calling back threewomen, Pandora, Lilith and Eve who are accused of being the cause of bringing evil to the world and tasking them...

Thank you Dr. Gwen Grant for Inspiring the Women In Support of the Million Man March from being an idea, to an Institution. You encouraged us to continue purchasing prime historic properties down town Newark, and above all, teaching our children with excellence in Math, Science Geography and more at 3 & 4 years old.

With all that Gwen Grant had on her plate, she made time and provided in kind phycology sessions to our board members as we grew with the help of God, to amazing...
