A smile comes with tears as I think of the Pace family. What a wonderful legacy of church, neighborhood, your Jeep, your quiet walk which was so much like all the Pace men. Though ten years older how much I admired you from afar, your time in the military, and your family leadership. You loved the Pace legacy too and so it runs. You will always be with us.
love, shirley
