To Lisa, Maria, and Melissa: Gracie was such a sweet loving friend. She will always compliments you with her kinds words. I met Gracie at the Post Office and we became friends and when I retired in 2009, Gracie would call me and say we have to go out for lunch you, me, Genna and Reginald and I said let me know when I'm ready when you are. This went on every month and nothing happened but we finally had lunch in September 2023 and we laughed and talked for hours. Gracie I'm going miss you and Lisa, Maria and Melissa I'm praying God will keep, protect and give you peace. Much love, Carleen

To: The family of Gracie McCraw, I wish to express my heartfelt sympathy and the hope that the kind words of your family and friends will make this difficult time a bit easier to bear. I met Gracie when we worked together at the US Postal Service. RIP.

Sincerely, Dorothy(Yancey)Morgan

Gracie was one of the most beautiful people,ever. She was a very down to earth lady. If she saw that you were sad, she would offer you a kind word to cheer you up. And if you were cheerful, she would join right in with you. She was very intelligent, but modest in her approach to most people. Yes, the world won't be the same place without her. But one thing's for certain. And that's the fact that Heaven is even brighter with her among God's angels. Praying for the Family at this time of mourning. May God bless and comfort you at this time.

To the family of Gracie Williams McCraw, we are deeply saddened and praying for the McCraw family for the loss of a special loved one. It is difficult today to see beyond the sorrow. When looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow. The angels are always near to those who are grieving, to whisper to them that their loved ones are safe in the hands of God. When someone we love becomes a memory, that memory becomes a treasure. Love is a bond of hearts that parting cannot sever, in spirit and in truth. The memory of love lives on forever. May you find peace and comfort in knowing that Gracie's loss is felt by all who knew and loved her. Gracie sharing her sweet smile and dimples, was such a kind person who will be greatly missed by all. Rest in Paradise Sweet Angel. Sincerely, Yarbrough & Petra Dillard-Laws, Mesquite, TX
