hello its hard to bealive im writing this but im one of Mr.graces students he always had a smile on his face and always tried his best to keep our class light hearted (and easy) my two favorite memrioes with Mr.grace are one when I would skip lunch and recess i would come into his class and say hello or just bother him and two there is a kid in our class called DJ he would always cause trouble and one day Mr.grace made new assiagned seats and put him in a corner away from everyone and we called it "dj's isolation corner" or "dj's island". Mr.grace had a huge impact on my live and I truly dont bealive he knew how much of a impact he had on me and my life ill miss Mr.grace deeply and ill miss seeing him at his desk everyday. I hope he is resting in peace now though.
