Grace's obituary
April 8, 1923-Feb 28, 2019
Grace was born to Christian & Missionary Alliance missionary parents, Rev. Harry & Agnes Lang, in South China. She lived in China, until 1941 (WWII), when she boarded the last ship bound for the U.S. Grace graduated, in 1945, from The Missionary Training Institute (now known as Nyack College). Grace wanted to go back to China to serve as a missionary. She did her training in the Ozark Mtns, AR, and post graduate work at MTI, but due to health issues was unable to go as a missionary. She said, God wanted her obedience. Grace met Allan E. Bristol at Church, in Nyack, NY. Their dates were to the Billy Graham Crusade in NYC, resulting in their marriage, Jan 11, 1958. In 1960, Grace and family moved to Westfield, MA; and planted a C&MA church there. In 1968, the family moved to Fort Myers, FL., where they were active in their neighborhood, Dean Park Historic District; and their church, the First Alliance Church of Fort Myers (later renamed Christ Community Church). When Evangelical Christian School was started in 1973, Grace was the first teacher hired, and she became a well loved and respected kindergarten teacher there for 19 years, retiring in 1991. Her husband Al passed, July 14, 2003. Grace homeschooled two of her grandchildren, Taylor and Daniel Bristol, through 2nd grade. Grace went to be with her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, on February 28, 2019. She was predeceased by her parents Rev. Harry & Agnes Lang; her husband Allan Eastman Bristol; brother Robert Lang; sister-in-laws & spouses: Grace & Earl Dandy; Geraldine & George Chilton; Joyce Peramba; brother-in-law, Charles Bristol; and nephew, Todd Peramba.
