To the family of Grace;
I am so sorry for your loss, this world has lost a good soul.
I had the pleasure of meeting then working with Grace @ North Palm Beach Elem. Grace embrased everyday with a smile, she made the difference to all the children she served a meal each day with kindness,compassion,and patience.
Grace quickly became everyones grandma.
She was fondly thought of by her coworkers and staff as well.
Her love for her family and late husband were spoke of often. They were her life.
Grace loved life and enjoyed each day she was blessed to have it.
May she be a rest. God Bless her.

Mom, we thought of you with love today,
But that is nothing new.
We thought about you yesterday,
And the days before that, too.
We think of you in silence.
We often speak your name.
Now all we have is memories,
And your picture in a frame.
Your memory is our keepsake,
With which we'll never part.
God has you in His Keeping.
And, we will always have you in our HEART!
