Grace - a eulogy

Farewell Sweet Gracie 

June 5, 2012 at 7:45 am by Jim Letzelter

With the blessing of her parents, I am posting the eulogy I delivered yesterday. There’s no way to be prepared to write one for a 14-year-old girl, and this was difficult. I hope this in some ways helps those who knew Grace to heal, and for those who did not know her to get a sense of the person she was.

For Grace Antoinette Maney, August 20, 1997 – May 31, 2012
