Sherry Grace (c.1954-) is the founder of Mothers of Incarcerated Sons, an organisation which provides assistance to parents of children in prison. A resident of Orlando, Florida, she also works as an interior designer. After two of her sons were involved in a string of arrests and eventually jailed, she related her story with her church's congregation. Afterwards, several other churchgoers quietly told her that had sons in prison, as well. In response, Grace, on Mother's Day, 2001, she founded Mothers of Incarcerated Sons.
Famous quotes containing the word grace:
“But the mark of American merit in painting, in sculpture, in poetry, in fiction, in eloquence, seems to be a certain grace without grandeur, and itself not new but derivative; a vase of fair outline, but empty,—which whoso sees, may fill with what wit and character is in him, but which does not, like the charged cloud, overflow with terrible beauty, and emit lightnings on all beholders.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
