“They're good people”

Hi Strands fans. This one was fun! The theme - "They're good people" - was just cryptic enough to give the brain a little exercise, without creeping into being frustrating.
The link, of course, is common names that also happen to be a virtue - or VIRTUENAMES as Strands puts it. This wasn't immediately obvious to be when I found JUSTICE snaked around the bottom left-hand corner, however, and I struggled for a while afterwards. I wondered if it was to do with the justice system, and spent a while looking for things like 'court', 'judge' and 'jury'.
But then it clicked that JUSTICE can also be a person's name (albeit not a common one in the UK, where I am). From there, I was away, immediately looking for HOPE which was directly above it.
Then I saw 'virtue' starting on the left-hand side, and realized it was part of the spangram: VIRTUENAMES. That also cordoned off FAITH in the bottom right-hand corner.
I had three left to uncover, all in the top half of the board. GRACE was immediately above FAITH, leaving me with just two to untangle. FELICITY, right above GRACE, was first to fall, which just left PRUDENCE to connect.
