Dear Family of Grace,
I was very saddened to learn that Grace had passed away. I had the opportunity several years ago to work with Grace at Anne Grady in Supported Living. When I was interviewing staff for the Kellogg house was the first time I met Grace. I was so impressed with Grace. She was my #1 favorite to hire for Kellogg. Many staff found it difficult to work with the three gentlemen who lived there. Not Grace! I admired how she treated, cajoled and cared for the the guys. I also know that Grace's work and effort was one of the reason's why Kellogg was so successful. My very favorite picture of Grace is her wedding picture. It used to hang up in the office at Kellogg and it is now in my photo album. I remember when Jerry Jr. became Grace's son. I admired Grace and was in awe at how Jerry Jr. flourished under Grace's love and care. These warm memories I have of Grace will forever be in my heart. May God hold you in his hands during your time of sorrow.

Dear Woodson/Franklin family,

I did not get to know Grace for a very long, but we hit it off from the start, and we quickly realized she was a childhood friend of my husband (Bobby Lawrence). Grace had one of the most giving loving hearts of anyone I have ever known. Grace took care of my brother Kevin when he was dying at Anne Grady, her love and compassion for him was such a blessing. I know that all of you will miss her, but I know as she left such a lasting impression in my heart,a truly beautiful woman inside and out, your love and memories of her will carry you through.

God Blessed us all for having had the opportunity to know and to love her.

Sincerly,
Tracy Lawrence
