by Robin Smith

 

Grace Feingold brought to our community a family that is dedicated to happiness and set an example never to settle for second best. Their dedication to learn and teach others about Down syndrome will benefit our churches, schools and hospitals for generations to come.

The Down Syndrome Association of the Lowcountry is grateful for the life of Grace. She brought to the young children of our community a breath of hope that one day all of our children will be expected to achieve, to be accpeted and to be included.

Grace is our champion, her presence in our work for the success of people with Down syndrome will last forever. She leaves a message for new moms and dads not to be afraid, but to celebrate. To embrace Gods gift and follow their hearts - to be a light in the world and show through both word and deed the value of individuals.

Grace was a blessing, the children and adults with Down syndrome and their families will continue to share Grace's memory and celebrate her life in a way that will benefit our entire community.

What is Down Syndrome?

Down syndrome is a chromosome disorder which usually causes a delay in physical, intellectual and language development. The degree to which each individual is affected varies widely. The exact causes of Down syndrome are currently unknown, and although there are prenatal tests that can detect Down syndrome, there is at this time no method for prevention and no cure.
