Grace was so nice to everyone she met. She was a great friend, daughter, sister, aunt and

always knew how to make you feel good about yourself. She made friends wherever she would
go and was so great with the kids. She was very health conscious and athletic and worked out
at the gym everyday. She always wanted to prove how strong she was. She loved poetry and
femenist movies. She was goofy and always made everyone laugh and her smile lit up the
room. Her passion was cheer and her goal was to go to Worlds. She loves recording her life
events and memories through pictures and videos. She always wanted to make more memories

them, but you always know they are there.”
