Susan, Nancy and Alice,
I had no idea of Grace’s passing until today. I had reached out last year trying to get in touch with her. I have her 2020 Eastern Star Membership card and wanted to send it to her with a chapter yearbook. I wanted to send her a picture of me getting my 30 year pen. She and your dad signed my petition to join back when I worked at the bank in Colbert. If either of you would like her 2020 membership card just let me know and I will send it to you. Please know I thought the world of Grace. She was always so much fun. We had a blast crafting together and sharing plants and cuttings of different plants. She was a wonderful lady who holds a special place in my heart.
