    Jan 31, 2023 As a fellow member of HHS class of '55 and old friend of Grace I am so sad to learn of Grace passing away. I reach out now to offer my sympathy to her sister and brother.

    Dick, Regina and family, Love, sympathy, thoughts and prayers to you during this time. I know you'll miss Grace, but her memories will be with you until you meet again! I'm thankful I visited her with our pastor while she was Grace, and she could talk baseball like she had seen the Braves play last week. I was also blessed to receive communion with her several times before the Covid pandemic. After his prayer, Grace would always thank him for his visit.

    Grace was a joy to know and such fun we had on trips to Dollywood. Hers was a life well lived and she will be missed. We were blessed to call her a friend. Our sympathies to the family.

    I’m saddened to hear of Grace’s passing. I can’t ever remember not knowing Grace. All the years as neighbors on Carson Drive were a joy. My deepest sympathies to the family.
