We loved our sweet Grandma Pace and are so sad that she isn't here with us anymore. We know that she lived a long life and is now with her husband that she lost many years ago. We had a BBQ the night before her funeral. It was great for the family to get together and I know Grandma was there in spirit.

The funeral was a wonderful celebration of her life and I loved hearing the stories of her youth. Kathryn, Mindy, and I sang a song with some of Grandma's daughters and granddaughters. She sang one of her favorite songs and it was a great experience for me to sing with these women that Grandma loved so much. This was a great opportunity for us to teach the children about the plan of salvation and that they will see Grandma Pace again. She was an amazing woman and I'm so glad that we had so much time with her. We love you Grandma Pace!!!
