Auntie Grace, Miss Lawrence…no matter what you were called, you’ll never be forgotten. You were my Geography teacher at ICHS (I graduated in ‘71); yet you taught all of your students so much more than the subject matter. Small in stature but large in every other way, you were universally loved. I was privileged to renew our connection in the last 5-6 years of your life, & am forever grateful for the wisdom you imparted not only in speech, but by how you lived.
Rest In Peace good & faithful servant

I met “Auntie”, as she was affectionately know by so many, through her niece, Hyacinth, in Brooklyn, New York. Auntie impressed me as a mild-mannered woman, whose humility was a trait I witnessed from meeting her around 1987, until the time of her passing.
Auntie willingly shared her intellect with students of every age, and pursued hobbies and other activities well into her nineties! What a remarkable woman! She was so selfless in her giving to others, and I pray her legacy will serve to motivate us into serving others. May her soul rest in perfect peace❤️.

From June(niece):
Words cannot capture the fullness of Aunt Grace's life. She had set gold standards for us to follow and many of us have done so through her love and guidance. As we all know Education was her greatest passion: so most of her life she spend as a teacher.
She taught students up to a few weeks before her final moments. It didn't matter if one could afford tuition or not: she taught for free when she spotted the need to do so. She also taught the mentally challenged: such a gesture is near and dear to my heart seeing I have a mentally challenged son. This attested to the great quality of her character.
While her contribution to Education was memorable it did not define the extent of her commitment to help others.
She was intently involved in her church and in the community: was awarded by Butch Stewart for her Community Service.
She loved her family and had raised some of neices and nephews and have given great financial help to family, friends and strangers.
These are just a few of the many contributions she made in her life: a life well spent. Although a woman of small statute there is no doubt she stood tall in our lives.
Rest in Peace Aunt Grace.
You are greatly missed.

What a lovely and dynamic lady Aunt Grace was! Although she is no longer with us physically, her legacy is eternal through the love of her family and of that in return, her bond with Rissa (my dear friend), and the innumerable blessings and life-changing impact that will continue through Grace Scholarship Fund. I am honored to have in her presence (albeit virtually) at the annual GSF Scholarship Reception only a few weeks before she passed. What a force she was! Sending love to Rissa, Ms. Cindy, and the entire family. I am envisioning Aunt Grace chatting it up with my Aunt Globs, who was also a teach and who recently passed away...also at 96. Rest in light, love, and peace Aunt Grace.

“How can the dead be truly dead when they still live in the souls of those who are left behind?”
Carson McCullers

Miss Grace had a heart that cared completely, that brought so much pleasure, and she had love that brought joy beyond measure. She took my sisters and I under her wings expecting nothing in return, she loved us as if we were her own. She was an angel sent to bless many with her gift of LOVE and especially EDUCATION. I am lucky to have met you and to have been loved by you.

"For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign Lord. Repent and live!" - Ezekial 18:32
Although unheard, I want to thank you for your undying love, your support, guidance, teachings and most of all you being a mother to me and also my best friend. It’s been a privilege to have known you.
Miss Lawrence was an ICON and will remain an icon. She is more than a blessing. My sisters and I were very lucky to have gotten a Gold in human form. What I want to say cannot be summarized so I’ll say no more. Miss Lawrence I still love and respect you dearly.
You are in paradise, God bless you.

I am saddened to hear about the passing of such a respectable person who has personally assisted my advancement in university studies. It is without any doubt Ms. Lawrence has positively impacted the lives of hundreds if not thousands of students, whether through her work as a teacher or philanthropist.

Gone but still remains in our Heart ❤️
We little knew that morning;
God was going to call your name,
In life we loved you dearly,
On death we do the same.
It broke out hearts to lose you,
You did not go alone,
For part of us went with you,
The day God called you home.
You left us beautiful memories,
Your love is still our guide,
And though we cannot see you,
You're always at our side.
Our chain is broken,
And nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one,
The chain will link again.
We miss you dearly Aunt Grace.
Rest Well Queen

In honor of Aunt Grace,
The Bible tells us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. Aunt Grace truly lived out this command to completion. She lived selflessly sharing her wisdom, natural gifts, time and love to countless people around her. She has left an amazing legacy and life to model.
May she enjoy her reward of eternal life healed and whole in the Father's love.
With love,

My dear Aunt Grace has led a life of caring, graciousness and compassion to the fullest. She was a loving person who opened her arms to all those in need who she encountered.

I am forevermore proud and blessed to have her as my aunt.

Miss Lawrence, affectionately known as Auntie Grace, was my Geography teacher at Immaculate Conception High School, all the way to A-levels.

She was phenomenal. Miss Lawrence was soft-spoken and gentle, yet firm and authoritative. She gained the respect of her students and got results from them. What is more, she influenced many of our lives well beyond the classroom.

Amazingly, Auntie Grace and I remained in contact and spoke with each other up to just a few weeks before her passing. With the help of Hyacinth, her niece, I saw Miss Lawrence whenever she came to visit her in Florida.

Miss Lawrence enjoyed her birthday parties, hosted by Hyacinth, well into her nineties. She called me at least twice a year. It was such a joy for me to hear about her teaching/learning activities and to bring her up to date with mine. Miss Lawrence often inquired about some of her former students with whom she wanted to contact, and would solicit my help. I felt so good when Miss. Lawrence met my daughter a few years ago. She certainly positively influenced the lives of many, spanning generations. She will live on in my memory. May her soul rest in peace in God’s loving arms.

I met auntie as a child. She seemed to be always sharing, HERSELF, with others. As a lucky recipient of that kindness;I remember her patiently listening as I expressed my fears and concerns about life.Her input was to challenge me to find my inner strength to conquer my fears. Learning that from her I was able to share this strategy with others.To all of us that have had any encounter with her,I will dare to say we are are lucky God loaned her to us for awhile.

Miss Lawrence, Aunty Grace, taught me Geography at ICHS for 5 years , 1967-71.
Small in stature, she easily kept the class of 30+ girls controlled & entertained. Her love for the subject & her immense skill at imparting not only the required material, but many other interesting facts endeared her to all of us. She managed to be strict, whilst letting us know she cared about us individually, so naturally we loved her in return.
After she formally retired, we stayed in touch, & for the last five years of her life I visited fairly regularly, as I was so inspired by her gentle, unassuming ways, & her independent spirit, not to mention her mind & memory which were undiminished by time.
She left an amazing legacy, this woman who could lovingly call hundreds of people “her children/students”. She will never be forgotten

Tribute to Auntie Grace Lawrence
It is a privilege and honor to pay respect to Auntie Grace Lawrence. She was a trailblazer, an icon, and an individual whose generosity knew no bounds
  She was fearless, strong, wise, kind and a passionate advocate for the betterment of humanity. She always did everything in her power to assist the people especially the children in her community to be the best that they can. In many respect through her work and her deeds she was to me the embodiment of the often used phrase “ No child left behind.”
  Yes she was an A one educator by day, but she worked around the clock to make sure all her students received a solid education and the tools necessary to navigate real world experiences. The world will miss this shining star but her legacy lives on.
     R. I. P Auntie Grace
    Much Love ❤️

When I think of Aunty (Aunt Grace to many), I think about the way she lights up when she share about teaching and helping children in school, at her home and her Sunday School classes. I once told her that she should write a book because she had so much to share and was thrilled when she shared that she was putting her story in a book ( a note book written in pen not typed). I remember when she visited me one summer while I served as Acting Principal at summer school and she would call me every few months and we would talk mostly about school and she would tell me all about the students she was tutoring. She felt that she had so much to give and so she never took for granted her role as a teacher.
My last face to face contact was us enjoying a fish dinner in Florida. Aunty, you are one of a kind and I can bet you have a group of young people tutoring in heaven! May you Rest In Peace!
