Dear Toni, Dave, and Nina,Even though I am sad to hear of your incredible loss I can't help but be alittle bit envious of Grace. At this very minute she is spending her time making beautiful Music with the Angels worshiping our Heavenly Father. I was so blessed to have known her. I enjoyed the time we spent praying, and singing and doing bible studies. Even when she was sick..music would still bring her back for a while and you would just see the joy come back into her body as she would play and worship the Lord. I can't wait to Join her someday. It was a privelege to know her. I love you and your family so much and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this Difficult time.God Bless you all and may his peace be your comfort during this time.Renee, Chris, Austin, Taylor and NoahMeinholz

Toni, David, Nina and family, we are very sorry for the loss of your dear mom. Be comforted by this scripture: 1 Thessalonians 4:14 "We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in Him." We are praying for God's peace and comfort.We love you,Mwende, Joshua & Gracie Mutungi

Toni, So Sorry to hear about your Mother. Grace and I had some good times. She even came to visit me once when I lived in Conover. I am glad that you got along so well with your Mother and thank you for the pictures. I still remember when I babysat you ,when you were in kindergarten and you asked me what I was having for supper and I told you rabbit pie,rye bread and raspberry pie and you said that they all begin with r's. I just couldn!t believe that you knew the alphabet already. Wish I could be there for the funeral but I can!t but I wish you all the best and I will miss Grace.
