Jaycee Grace

Jaycee Grace, 19 months, was born October 25, 2011 in Houston, TX and went to be with the Lord May 31, 2013 at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston. Even though she was a heart transplant recipient, Jaycee enjoyed and showed her love for life, family, friends and church services. She was a delight to behold as music was played in her church to watch her hands go up as she praised the Lord. Of course, the music did not just have to be played in church or even be church music for her to begin to praise with her hands and heart lifted up. Jaycee understood in her heart what Jesus meant when He said: "Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God." Mark 10: 14 KJV
