It's with sincere condolence that I write this message, Mary Grace was a wonderful lady whom I had the pleasure of working with at Communicorp. I not only had the pleasure of learning a lot from her knowledge of paper, but we shared many laughs as she slipped on her tea which she loved so much. I often thought of Mary Grace as I passed her home on Fort, my last knowledge of her was she had moved to Florida. She was and will be dearly missed. With Sincere Sympathy, Bonita Drumwright Rogers

I got to know Mary Grace through the Columbus Hurricanes Swim Team. I hired her part-time to help out in the office. She was a very sweet lady and a good employee. My thoughts are with her family and friends.
