I lived with Grace and Pop right after high school and while I was attending the Smithdeal Massey Business School. The Baldwins were like a family away from home. All of us will always remember these two wonderful people.

My grandfather, Claude Baldwin, was Grace's brother-in-law. I remember as a youngster going with my family to Grace and Claude's boarding house and they showed us each girls' room and took us on a tour of the entire house. I thought this was SO amazing and have always remembered doing this. Grace was a lovely lady who impacted many lives with laughter, a kind word and smiles.

She is with her husband now and beside the Lord.

God bless Grace Baldwin.
