Sorry to learn of your loss. While I didn't have her as a teacher, her devotion to the children of Asbury Park undoubtedly paved the way for others such as myself to grow up there and serve in the district as well. God Bless you all during this challenging time.

Heartfelt sympathy to the family on the loss of your loved one. Sis. McAfee was a lovely, proud, and wonderful woman. I enjoyed her company at some events she attended with her lovely daughter-in-law. May God grant you His strength and comfort during your times of sorrow.

My thoughts and prayers are with my cousin Charles Jr, Elizabeth, Christina and the rest of the family during this time of loss. I thank God that I had an opportunity to talk with Aunt Grace in late May and she was so content with where she was in life. She constantly vocalized how much she loved the Lord, and it was very evident that she loved Him with all her heart! May she rest in peace and in the comfort of God's mansion forever and ever! AMEN

Our hearts and prayers go out to the McAfee family at this time and in the days, weeks and years ahead. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Ms. McAfee (affectionately known as "Mamma Grace" to many of us) is a beautiful, caring and compasionnate woman. She was also the Kindergarten teacher to a few of us in our family and remained a friend to our entire family. Although she is no longer here with us but now with the angels smiling down on us, she will be truly missed (especially my visiting her and going out to dine on my occasional trips home) forever!
Blessings Always

My sympathy to the family. Mrs. McAfee was my son's Kindergarten teacher in 1995. I worked at Bangs Avenue School as a secretary and found Mrs. McAfee to be a very gracious, kind and lovely woman.
