    Grace-it says it in her name. She is grace.
    Grace was a truly wonderful woman.
    She lit up a room-always smiling.
    She lived her life with love.
    She was special to everyone who knew her.
    And she meant the world to her family especially
    to her husband Carl.
    I am so very sorry

    Carl and family; I am so sorry to hear of Grace’s passing. I have, and always will, remember her laugh and her love and protection of the family. I loved sitting in the kitchen with her and listening to her compassion in discussing the day to day tribulations of family and why nobody could do what she could do at Charlotte. All my best to you, Val and John and grandkids. Blessings. Bruce 😢

    Carl and family,
    Grace was a special woman. I have missed our weekly visits. Her smile was the best and i’m so glad she had the amazing love and care by you and the rest of the family, in that beautiful sunny room. She fought hard and am so proud of how she handled the end of her journey. I think of her and all of you often, since i drive through that part of town all the time. Hugs to you all.

    Much love,
    Melissa
