Rest well Grace. Your death is too painful for us to bear.

With hearts heavy and spirits humbled, we share that following DNA testing, it has been confirmed this evening that the body found on the 22nd of December is indeed our beloved Grace Aseidua Benyin.
Grace was many things to many people a devoted mother, a loving wife, a compassionate midwife, a cherished daughter, a loyal friend, and a pillar within the community. In the true Ghanaian sense, Grace was not only a mother to her own children, but a mother to many and sister to all. She served with a generous heart, open hands, and a gentle spirit, always guided by love, faith, and service to others.
Grace was light. She carried warmth wherever she went, and her presence brought comfort, laughter, and reassurance. It is a deep sorrow that we could not find her alive, a pain that words cannot fully carry. Yet, even in our grief, we are grateful that she has been found and returned to us, so she may be laid to rest with dignity, honour, and the love she so richly deserves.
Her children will miss her voice, her prayers, her guidance, and her embrace. Her husband will miss his partner, his confidant, and his strength. As a family, as a community, and as a people, we will miss Grace profoundly. In tradition, when one person passes, the whole community mourns ,and today, we mourn together.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the Tipperary Rescue Team and the Carrick-on-Suir team for their tireless efforts and compassion. We also thank everyone in the WhatsApp group and all who stood with the family during this painful and traumatic journey. Your patience, prayers, messages, and quiet presence reflected the true meaning of community.
A vigil for Grace will be announced in due course. At this time, we humbly ask for space and sensitivity, allowing her family the time to grieve and to gather strength. Please refrain from questions, speculation, or discussions surrounding the circumstances of her passing. In our culture, we honour the dead by protecting the living and there are hearts that are deeply wounded.
Let us keep Grace’s children, her husband, and her extended family in our prayers. May the God of mercy and compassion grant Grace a peaceful and honourable passage to eternal rest. May her soul rest in perfect peace.
We also remember the walker who found Grace. This was a deeply traumatic experience, and we hold them in our thoughts and prayers, asking that God grants them comfort, healing, and peace.
As we mourn, let us also celebrate Grace. Let us continue to speak of her kindness, her laughter, her strength, and her love. Let us tell her stories, sing her praises, and keep her legacy alive. In true Ghanaian tradition, we say: a good name never dies. Let Amazing Grace continue to shine through us in our compassion, our unity, and our care for one another.
Once again, we thank everyone for your support, respect, and love. Please remember to be kind, to be gentle with one another, and to walk with empathy, for many are grieving.
Rest well Grace ❤
