We would like to request the Loyola Schools Community to pray for the repose of the soul of Mrs. Gracita "Grace" De los Santos, who passed  away on Friday, 29 June 2012 due to colon cancer.

Grace is fondly remembered for the work that she has done in the Ateneo especially in relation with the Management Engineering Department and  after the restructuring, the Management Engineering Program. She served as the ME department secretary and then administrative assistant from 1980 to 2002. During her years with ME, she helped develop a strong network of ME alumni who could be tapped to support the department's many activities and resource needs.

Her remains are at the Ascension Chapels, Araneta Avenue Corner Baloy Street, Quezon City. The Cremation will be held on Tuesday, 3 July 2012.

Thank you very much.
