Aunt Gracie was a beautiful and cheerful individual. She will be missed by many; but thank God she left many copies of her tender loving jubilant spirit.
Many the grace of God keep you all in perfect peace and may we at the end of our journey know God and leave a positive impact on those we leave behind; as she did. As we continue to grieve our separation lets remember that beautiful smile and laughter that even sickness could not steal and that enough to makes us smile again.

God is not a man that he should lie and those who die in him shall reign with him. You all will forever be in my thoughts and prayers.
