It’s been 3 years today & it seems like forever! I miss talking to you almost every day. I know you are watching over all of us. I Love that God chose me to be your daughter, I am soooo blessed. I Love you so much! Thank you for everything.🙏😥😘❤️

My sweet Aunt Grace. As a child, I always thought...when I grow up, I want to look like my aunt Grace. Her name is very fitting. She was graceful and kind, as well as, beautiful. She gave the best hugs and smelled like happiness to me. The best memory I have of her was just between the two of us. I was around 10 years old and I loved to take photographs. We were sitting on the porch one day when she came to visit. She had a camera and took a ton of pictures.  I told her that I loved pictures and I showed her the pictures I had taken of her and Becky. They were my favorite. She handed me her little camera and said, "I want you to have this camera. You take pictures of all your happy moments, and remember, Aunt Grace loves you." I had that camera for 20 years. I thought of her every time I used it. Turns out, my greatest memories of her would not be the ones I photographed, but the ones I have in my heart. Her hugs, her smell, the sound of her voice and her great love for family. God bless her and keep her. I pray for peace now in my beautiful Becky's heart, knowing her momma shines down on us all. All my love.

In memory of Grace,  a sweet sweet lady who I will always hold her memory in my heart...BECKYS MOM. Grace was a country gal at heart with just the right amount of city charm. I hope she looks back fondly on her first  "Rap  Music" encounter  at Cheyene Frontier Days. I know Becky, Kirk and I will. Rest in peace Grace and may God bless your soul.

Amazing Grace, I miss you every day. You were a loving, fearless mother and raised an amazing woman my wife Becky. You were the best mother in law that I can imagine, you were also my friend. You were the best grandmother and great grandmother. We had wonderful unforgettable times together. My Mom and Dad loved you I especially remember my Dad's nickname for you "granny flash". We all lost a special person when you went home. I love you Grace!

My fondest memory of Granny Grace was the first time I met her. My boyfriend Beau, now my amazing husband, wanted so badly for me to meet his sweet grandmother. I knew how important it was to him because he told me all of the wonderful memories he had growing up with her-including the infamous eyelash story! When we got to Granny Grace’s house I was so nervous, but she greeted me with a great big hug and made me feel very important. I saw her look a Beau with such pride and I instantly fell in love with her! She was such a special lady with so much love in her heart. She took me around the house and showed me all of the pictures of the family.  She had nothing, but wonderful things to say about everyone. Finally, she took me to the backyard and showed me her gorgeous plants. She could tell I loved them, and gave us a plant to take to our home. I am so honored to have met such a great woman that helped raise my husband and his wonderful family. Thank you Granny Grace, I know you will look over all of us, and you are forever in our hearts. 

My greatest memory of my granny is when I first got my driver’s license. Granny Grace was in town for some holiday and needed eye lashes. Me, being a 16/17 year old boy, had no clue that was even a thing. I looked for hours until I finally called to find out if she was messing with me. She had that great laugh of hers! Now being married, I know exactly what and where to get eyelashes thanks to my beautiful granny. 

I always thought Grace was one of the most beautiful women I had ever known...tall, blonde and Gracious!  She raised a beautiful daughter that I am so proud to call my friend...I have SO many memories of her but ONE in particular that stands out...and Grace knows it from above...I will just say it brings us laughs when we speak of it - our kids love it when we recall it...I'm so grateful to have known her and loved her...we will miss you - Love, Chuck and Dana xoxoxox

Late last night, early this morning one of the most absolutely amazing, kind, loving, fierce, hard working, and beautiful people passed away. You were the best granny in the world. You truly were the amazing Grace such as your name says. I am so blessed and lucky to call you my granny. I am so very lucky to have been by your side at the end such as you were there at the beginning of mine. I love you to the moon and back. 
As I was looking through things today I found a note to me and I felt like it was you speaking to me saying I’m ok. It was a note she had forgotten to send to me about the best memory I have with my granny. I got to spend almost a whole summer with her in fourth grade and we went up to the sequoia’s in California. The note said what a wonderful time we both had on this trip. 
We always joked about how I was supposed to be born on your birthday and our last talk was about this because we both loved talking about this. Like one or your favorite words is, Konnichiwa granny. 
I will also miss your homemade meals and you saying don’t be bashful and filling my plate. Fuethermore, I will miss your granny love and hugs. Something else I will miss is our phone calls from our deep talks to us joking with each other over the phone. Rest easy granny I love you.

Our Amazing Grace, my Granny, Austin’s GG grace, and my bestie for life decided to become an angel in heaven on March 12th - my life will never be the same.  My heart is heavy but I know that she was ready to be greeted by her family waiting for her in heaven. She is no longer suffering. I had the privilege and will always cherish being there with her in her last moments/breaths here on Earth surrounded by our family, holding her hand, which is exactly how she would have wanted it to be.  I’ll miss her saying “I love you my Brooker,” her fierce love for our family, and our Austin.  I will miss her notes, newspaper clippings customized just for me, her phone calls, her Christmas gifts and so much more. She will be missed so much and I pray that she rests easy and for eternal peace and for my Momma, who needs all the prayers and strength right now.  I know I’ll see her again someday and that we have a very protective guardian angel watching over us.  My cup runneth over, I love her so. 

How sad I am to hear of Gracie's passing.  I knew she was very sick but I had hoped she would be able to enjoy her knew apartment for a while.  But that was not to be.  Now we are left with our memories, and boy do I have some good ones.  I remember when we shared so many fun times in Denver.  We were young and we laughed a lot, had a few tears, and supported each other in the ups and downs of our lives.  I attended her daughter, Becky's wedding and she attended my sons.  Even though it has been a few years ago since I last saw her, we kept in touch by phone,  she in California, and me in Florida.  Gracie was  kind, generous, a beautiful person that I shall always treasure as my very special and loving friend.  I am sad but so grateful for her friendship.  With love, Jean

I have tears in my eyes as I try to remember all the wonderful moments I had in knowing Grace.  From Denver to California there were so many crazy and wonderful times that we shared.  She was always happy and funny and the most cherished friend.  I will miss her always.  Rest in peace dear friend.
