Claudia & Family, Im so sorry for your loss. Aunt Gracie was always one of my favorite great Aunts. She was so sweet and kind, always had the prettiest smile on her face. She was very hard working, not too many people her age could keep up with her! She was such a great role model to everyone, and a great Christian woman. I know heaven is celebrating in welcoming a new angel. I will forever remember her, and will see her again one day. Love Bonnie (Broome) Callaway
