We have such fond memories of Aunt Grace! She always had a smile and was an example of how to be happy in life regardless of circumstances. We have no doubt she is celebrating her reunion with Uncle Keith and other loved ones who were promoted to glory before her.
Praying you may always sense her love and comfort around you.
Love,
Arthur and Sheila Borchert
