I had the pleasure of meeting Grace some years ago when she volunteered in my first grade classroom at Fletcher Elementary. I will always remember her kindness, patience and dedication when helping my students develop their reading skills. Grace really cared and the children knew it! They eagerly awaited her weekly visits and looked forward to their special time with a very special lady! Thank you, Grace!
I also met Grace while she was tutoring at Fletcher Elem. I remember she always had a big smile on her face and was so sweet. My sympathies to the family, and also to her good friend Terry Browne.
