    I worked with Grace at Kmart, there was never a dull moment with her. Her kindness knew no limits and had a way of making everyone around her feel welcome. My sincerest condolences to her entire family, I know how deeply she loved her family and how important she was to them in return.

    We got to know Grace for a brief moment, but she had a beautiful smile and a warm heart. She loved her nieces and nephews! She will be missed by her friends at Liberty School. Prayers to the Will Family.

    I was in a mental health group with grace, and we shared our hospital visit together, we were roommates. I got really close to Grace, she was one of my best friends. I enjoyed being around her, we have so much in common. I was so excited for her when she got this new apartment, I was going to go and visit her with my dog, Goliath. I was going to let her use my playstation so we could play video games together. I was so happy to have a friend like Grace, she was such a awesome person. I could trust her with anything. I have only met Grace’s mother once, but I want to extend my condolences to the whole family. I am so terribly sorry, the world will not be the same without her in it. Rest in peace friend, I will miss you.
    Love,
    Gloria.

    I am so sad to hear of Grace’s passing. I worked with her at Kmart and she was always trying to make us laugh. She was also a kind hearted person who went out of her way to talk to you. I had not seen her for a couple of years and then saw her at Mercantile. She went out of her way to say Hi and catch up. I didn’t know her well but she will be missed by many I am sure of that.
