I was so sad to learn today of Gracie’s death. Growing up across the street was the start of a wonderful friendship of many years. Gracie and I could conjure up cowboys and Indians and turn a pickup bed into a sailing ship with little effort. Her precious parents treated me like one of their own. Such sweet memories. My deepest sympathy to Dwight and all the family Mary Ryherd
