Dear Sears family and friends,

We are so terribly sorry to hear of Grace's passing. We hope you are seeking solace in one another as you experience this anguished time. All our love to Liam and Rex; we are thinking of them and holding them in our thoughts.

My sincere prayers for peace on Grace's soul. Her lovely smile could certainly light up a room! Even when she was suffering, she'd manage a big smile and a genuinely warm greeting. Prayers for and readiness to help Rex and Liam. Condolences for the entire Sears family. Bridgett Chandler

Dear Sears extended family: I am so sorry to hear that Grace lost this big fight. I saw her last at a Westside School reunion for Rex's class 18 months ago. Please let me know if there is a memorial effort for Grace, And or Rex and Liam. Lots of parents are sorry to have missed the service - many of us attended Martin's. Our hearts are with you and Rex and Liam especially. Love to all. Hallidie Don and Caleigh Haid
