One of the leading lights of the pro-life movement in the United States has gone out. Nellie Gray, the charismatic octogenarian founder of the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C., the largest annual pro-life event in the country, passed away over the weekend, and was discovered in her apartment earlier today.
Gray, who was once described by Cardinal Sean OMalley as the Joan of Arc of the pro-life movement, was an ubiquitous figure at the pro-life march every year, her slight frame standing at the podium at stage centre, introducing the many luminaries who addressed the crowd of several hundred thousand during the rally before the march.

Prayers up for her and her family. A truly great person.
She has literally gone to the “Shining City on the Hill” in Paradise God Bless Her.
Not in this life.
But she will have her reward now. God bless her.
God rest her soul. Nancy Pelosi and the NAGS are probably dancing in the streets.
Oneward to better things.
Not my place to judge but I rather be Nellie Gray standing before God making an accounting for my life on this earth than be Nancy Pelosi standing before God and trying to account for my actions.

May God rest her soul.
Nellie will be missed here on earth, but her celebration in Heaven with the angels and the saints will be magnificent!
Nellie’s dedication to the prolife movement most likely saved hundreds of babies from death over the past 40 years.
Well done, good and faithful servant!
