Grace Nolan, a second-year medical student at Oakland University William Beaumont School of Medicine, passed away unexpectedly last weekend, and the message from everyone who knew her is the same: Grace made the world a better place.

A memorial is planned for Oct. 31 and a scholarship fund has been established in Grace's honor to carry on her legacy of improving the lives of others.

Wendy and Jason Nolan knew their daughter Grace was destined for greatness and would improve the lives of many – but not until this week did they fully grasp how much she had done that already.

“I am thrilled to be speaking with OUWB medical students to learn their perspectives and share how they can get involved in organized medicine and make a difference in the lives of their patients and our profession."
