    Gracie taught me how to play the piano, and how to read music. She was a wonderful woman, who will be greatly missed. Till we meet again!!! :0)

    Gracie and I rode the same school bus. We’d sit and talk… and laugh! She always tried to have an upbeat (pun not intended), attitude! She saw so much positive in everything around her! And tried to share with everyone that she came in contact with. She will be missed! RIP Gracie and keep playing your ‘Heavenly music’………….

    Gracie had the best sense of humor, and loved her music. I can’t help but think that every once in awhile she will rock out the angels with Eric Clapton’s Swing Low Sweet Chariot!

    I knew Gracie for 40+ years and had the best conversation with her just 2 weeks ago for 2 hours with no talk of illness or anything. We talked about our mothers who had passed on and family times and old stories. Wow how we can leave this world so fast. She has met her maker and joined her mother. Prayers go out to the family. We will miss you Gracie. Thanks for the CD of your piano playing you just gave me…
