Grace, I miss you so much. I am so glad that you were in my life--and that we were finally able to see each other in person last year after many years apart. I cherish the times we had together and will remember them. And knowing that you are with our Heavenly Father gives me some peace.

Grace, I always admired your passion and openness in the community. From serving in the State Department and organising us with Shepherd's Table to sharing about life and randomness in car rides home. Your authenticity was comforting and quirky laughs were contagious. Thanks for your care in the midst of the daily complexities; some words will continue to stick with me. May you be granted peace and your family and friends solace.

To Grace's family, please accept my deepest condolences on your loss. I am so heartbroken to learn of Grace's passing, as she truly embodied her name in everything she did. Grace brought joy, inspiration, and excellence to the Department of State, and left a lasting legacy supporting human rights and bringing humanity closer together. May you rest in peace, Grace, and know how much you are loved and what a difference you made all over the world.

Thank you for shining your beautiful light in our world and in my life, Grace. You were a joy to know and work with. I believe God never lets go of your hand, here or at Home. So you are in very good hands now.

Grace, I'll never forget the special bond that we shared for being goofy and random and having so much love to give. Your contagious laugh always put me in a good mood. I pray that you have found the peace that you longed for in heaven, and that He is protecting you. I miss you and love you so much!
