Grace |
Grace, originally from New Orleans, was at one time Olive's housekeeper and the two collaborated to open Grace's Café. When Olive passed away, she left Grace her half of the café. Married to Robert E., the two tried unsuccessfully for 5 years to have children. Their initial attempts at adoption were unfruitful when it was decided that this first child, Live-In-Hopes, should be returned to the Cheyenne. Reluctantly they tried a second time, and were more successful. Grace and Robert E adopted an orphan named Anthony who had an unidentifiable disease, now known to us as sickle-cell anemia. Anthony died from his disease in 1873. Despite this tragedy, Grace and Robert E. continued to try, and were finally blessed when Grace excited told her husband she was pregnant during Colleen and Andrew's wedding. Grace is a good friend of Michaela's and was an attendant at Sully and Michaela's wedding. Grace and Robert E. are also godparents to Michaela and Sully's daughter, Katie. |
