To all of Grants Family,

I'm sorry for your loss. He was an incredible man and taught me more about life and science and politics than you could ever imagine. It was an honor having him in my store most days and in all of our lives over here at Micros. We'll miss him very much.

Aunt Lillie, Lisa, Meg, Tony, and Serina

I had just received the letter from Meg telling me of the news about Uncle Grant. My heart is very heavy at this moment. I loved him dearly. I had no idea he was so sick. I so much wanted to send him a stress ball so that his blood pressure would come down whenever he thought of those in Washington and what was going on. He was a true Democrate to the end. I will dearly miss him. I think how much mom loved you Aunt Lillie and how much she loved Uncle Grant. Take comfort in that they are together now and what a reunion it must have been for mom to see her brother again. And you too, will be able to see each other again. I will write you soon, I just wanted to let you know that I was thinking of all of you at this time.



Love Always your niece and cousin,

Christine

Mrs. Urry, I am so glad that I was able to talk with Doc at length when I was in Boston while he was in the hospital in October. I wish I had called him back around the holidays. I sent Doc an email appreciating your Christmas card with note & mentioning I am since Thanksgiving the primary almost fulltime caregive for my 90 year old Dad.

I love Doc! He taught & befriended me for 40+ years!



With the greatest sympathy,
