Grace had great stories from and made lifelong friends while working at Hallmark Cards. After receiving her nursing degree, she enjoyed working at Lawrence Memorial Hospital, and Brandon Woods. Her work with the elderly was unsurpassed. She had such compassion and truly cared for every one of her patients.
