Everyone who knew Grace knew her as Tootsie. Tootsie was a devoted member of our church who not only gave generously of her time but also her support. Through the years, she always decorated the church for whatever the season or holiday was and made the church beautiful. Even when she was not able to attend church anymore, she continued to support her church. Whenever there was an activity or fundraiser at the church, she was always there to do whatever had to be done...Tootsie and I shared many fun times and laughs working together at many fundraiser projects. In the summer she anxiously awaited our homegrown tomatoes that she always appreciated and enjoyed. She will be surely missed by me and all of her church friends and neighbors. Rest In Peace Tootsie - we all love you.
