I will miss Grace Kelly. She brightened my days. She was a friend and a sister in the Lord.

Condolence from Edward Frazier on February 28th, 2014 9:13 am

Many years have past since my high school days with Butch. Those were some wonderful years and during them I had the great pleasure meeting Mrs. Kelly and growing quite fond of her. What patience she had dealing with teenage boys. My mother called to tell me the sad news and commented that Mrs. Kelly was such a "sweet, kind,gracious lady". That is her legacy.
With deep sympathy for your lose.

Respectfully, Edward Frazier
