Missionary Vanessa Grace was holy. She was a true soldier in the army of the Lord. A royal heir of The Kingdom of Yahweh, the Great I Am! She was a devoted member of The Redeemed Church of Christ. She was a woman of God’s standards who exemplified righteousness. She was a devout, loving, loyal and protective wife, mother and friend. Family was everything to her. She taught her daughters to put God first in everything, always stick together, charity starts at home and second to God- family first, no matter what! She was a mentor, a true friend and a magnet of joy, light, love and strength. She was loved by so many. She left an imprint on everyone who was blessed to have her in their life. She was honorary. She WILL remain the glue, the heart and the rock of our family. Missionary Vanessa Grace will always be remembered with loving thoughts, which will always live in our hearts.

My sincere condolences to the Grace family, on the loss of your loved one. My mind takes me back when Vanessa and I were kids growing up in the Harrison Street area. There were so many children from the Daniel Brooks and Harrison Street area, and we had so much fun. One of my favorite group of people I loved playing with was Vanessa and her cousins. Vanessa was always sweet and humble. Some people you never forget and Vanessa will never be forgotten. May God give the family peace.

Rest In Peace Vanessa πŸ•ŠοΈπŸ•ŠοΈπŸ•ŠοΈ
