I enjoyed spending time with Mrs. Grace Morris. She was a very bright and thoughtful lady.
Grace was the person I looked up to. She was seven years older than me. We lived in the same neighborhood. I was at her wedding. I have tried to contact her for years. I spent time with her during the summers. I still have a book she gave to me. Bobby, I am so sorry for your loss.
I knew Grace many years ago, we were volunteers at Grace Hospital in Morganton. She also came to Pleasant View Baptist Church for several years. She was a wonderful person.
