Grace was one of my favorite people and I have such fond memories, especially when I was very young and visited at Grandmother Hayes home. She even gave me a permanent, took us swimming,etc.
That was over 70 years ago! It was such a joy when Grace, Romaine, Mabel and Don, and Rex and Dorothy surprised us with a visit.
Please know that we are praying for each of her immediate family.

Butch remembers your family with such fond memories. I remember Grace at our first son's baby shower. Dave had a stroke a year ago and that is the only reason we will be unable to show our respect by attending the services. Our prayers to you all.
