Aunt Grace, I have rarely met such a quiet, peaceful and kind person as you. Your smile brightened any room and your laugh was contagious. I pray that God will give you His peace and that He allows you to reunite with Uncle Leo and all your siblings once again in Heaven.

Grace...my heart is broken! I can’t tell you how much grace meant to me. She was like my second mom! There will not be a day that I won’t be thinking of you as you always thought about me and so many others! When God made you he knew you would spread your wings and spread God’s love to everyone you met! I’m comforted knowing you were a believer in Christ and you believed in his word! I’m happy I got to tell you that I loved you and you the same to me! Rest on grace, you’ve done well! Your assignment is complete! Rest in the bosom of Jesus! Until we meet again! I love you forever XoXoXo Monica
