Paul, I'm probably one of the very few on this list that has met Gracie. I
met her at your wife's funeral and my wife and I found her to be a very nice
young lady, She didn't know us at all but she was very cordial with us and
seemed beyond her age. You are fortunate to have such a fine grand daughter.
Continue to cherish her. May I suggest you can still continue a long
distance relationship with her on facetime.
God bless you and Gracie Paul.

Grace arrived 11 years ago on a flight from Scotland to Detroit, via
Baltimore. It was an escape I had arranged, and I couldn’t breathe easy
until I saw Grace and her mother descending the escalator from the flight
deck. My wife and I met them and took them home. The next morning I got
down on the floor and talked to Gracie — and photographed her — and we
began to establish a powerful bond that included all manner of things,
including cameras. In the years that followed there were parties, trips to
the beach, an endless number of days at the park, games, meals, some
wonderful friends in the neighborhood and more. And through it all, Gracie
was my partner, and I documented it in photos, some 3,000 I believe. But
the end was always inevitable and yesterday it came to pass at 8:40 am as
Grace and her mother left for a new life in Houston, Texas. I had steeled
myself against the inevitable, but once their truck was out of site, the
tears flowed. Today hasn’t been easy, but I have learned about moving on,
and I’m working on that. I’ll be good, and I trust that Gracie will as
well. But I will love her deeply until the day I die.
