1. Grace Howard 16/8/2000 - 10/3/2014

2. As we gather on this day, we pray for the life of Grace Howard, for her family, friends and all those including her classmates who knew and loved her.

3. We light a candle To remember that her light still shines.

4. We remember her smile, her warmth and determination.

5. Just as we know our friendship with Grace will not fade, we ask that the never ending love and friendship of Jesus remains with Grace as she journeys to be with God.

6. We pray that the strength and hope of the Holy Spirit is with us as we struggle with the reality of a beautiful life lived well, but cut short.

7. Jesus said, "There are many rooms in my Father's house.... I am going there to prepare a place for you.” John 14: 2

8. We know that the angels have already come to greet her with open arms.

9. She is no further than with God and our God is always very near.

10. Grace is now and ever shall be, part of our Mercy family.
