I knew Grace through our work with the Anglican church. She was never negative or mean-spirited but always uplifting to those around her. A person one could go to to seek consolation or assurance. A Godly woman who will be missed. My condolences to her family. How fortunate we all were to have Grace as a part of our lives. I am pleased to know that she used her middle name, for that is what she was, grace personified! - Posted by: Janice (Thibedeau) Knutson (friend) on: Dec 30, 2014
