Dearest Grace, a woman of strength and gentleness who loved, inspired and taught many.

Our dear Grace it saddens my heart to hear such sad news. The day I met you was on our Europe trip where I was instantly drawn to your warmth and kindness. I left New Zealand feeling nervous lonely and scared but God knew I needed you 😊 you made me feel comfortable amongst the group, you made me feel safe where I then knew I was gonna be ok.
You are one of the very few strong women that I know! who have inspired me and showed me what strength looks like. You will be sadly missed by many especially by those who have had the privilege of growing up with you, may god hold and comfort Jane and family to help ease their pain during this sad time. 😔 No more pain now for our grace the warrior woman that you are, you can finally stop fighting and now be held in the arms of our heavenly father. Keep being amazing and shine bright with your warmth and loving light! until we meet again I will love, miss and never forget you! Thank you! thank you so much for being on that trip and coming into my life arohanui always Liz and whanau from Aotearoa xxx ❤️😇🙏
