I'm sorry for the passing of Mrs. Grace. She was a big support to Bro. Stanley and very proud of her grandchildren. May God bring healing to all of you!

We are thankful that we had the opportunity to meet and get to know Ms. Grace when we moved next door summer 2021. She was very sweet and brought the kids chocolate. We are sad about her passing and wish we could have gotten to know her better.
