All of you have our thoughts and prayers.My Uncle Ronnie Roberson was married to Joan,and I got to meet Mrs. Worden and other family members through her. Mrs. Worden was a sweet lady,and I remember her as being a hoot. I still think of Joan as my aunt even though I haven't seen her in a long time and she and my uncle aren't married anymore. She was so good to me when I was little.

"To Grace's family: I am so sorry for your loss. Heaven has gained an angel. Grace has always been one of the sweetest persons that I have ever met! I worked with her in the jewelry dept at Wal-Mart and we always had so much fun. I will never forget the fun we had and the many things that I learned from her. I never once saw her in a bad mood all the years that I have known her. Later when she was door greeter, my grandaughter and I had to play Grace and give away stickers for several years. She adored her as well as I did. Always remember the good times. You are all in my prayers.

"Mrs. Grace.. Where do I begin!?! I met Grace when I was 16 yrs old and started working at Walmart. Through the years we had so many special moments. She always kept me laughing. There wasn't a day after all these years that she didn't have a smile on her face. Almost three years ago, I had a little girl that I named Elizabeth Grace and her middle name was given to her because of "Grace Worden". Heaven has gained an angel and I know she is just as beautiful as ever. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family during this difficult moment but I know you can rest assure that she is walking on the streets of gold.
