Aunt Grace will be greatly missed. She was a warm compassionate lady, we didn’t get to visit as much as we would have liked to living so far apart. We had some wonderful times together. On one of our trips to Yellowstone staying in a very rustic cabin we stayed awake almost all night laughing. There is not enough room on this page to tell all the wonderful memories we have.
Grace was so wonderful to my Mother Eula Childers. Thank you Aunt Grace she loved you so much and I know you are both having a great Reunion together.
Grace loves all her Children and Grand Children and they were always around her. Family was very important to her.
We love you all. Robbie and Mike
