Wayne, I first met Grace on the golf course years ago, when I joined the Brookside Ladies League. Grace and Barb Brow were one of our favorite teams to play against. Fast forward a few years and she found her way to you and our paths crossed again. What a wonderful lady...she lit up a room! We're sending you prayers to get through the difficult days ahead. Bryan and Bridgett Ludtke

My heartfelt sympathies to the family. Proverbs 17:17 tells us that "A true companion is loving all the time and...is born for when there is distress." In times of such sorrow, the love and support of friends can help carry you through. May their comfort help sustain you during this difficult time. Please accept my sincere condolences.
