Graciela or Grace, and she had much grace, will always remain in my heart and memory as warm, loving and gentle ... with a smile that would warm the coldest day ... she will always be my sweet aunt.

When I was a little girl, I always thought Grace was just the most beautiful lady. When I grew up, I realized she was beautiful inside and out and always made me feel special in her presence. "Grace" describes so much more than just her name. I know she will be missed.
