Jeff, Kevin, Nadine and families,
As you know, your dad was very special to me and my sisters. We haven't kept in touch like we should have over the years, but Mr. McGrady was never far from our thoughts. All of you are in my thoughts and will be in my prayers. Your mom and dad were very special people who reached out to everyone.
Much love and gratitude,
Yvonne, Juanita, Connie & Billie Jean

Words cannot adequately express the deep sorrow I feel with you in your loss. Mr. Bill was one of the greatest men I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He loved me and my children just like his own family and we loved him the same. We will be forever greatful for the time he so freely gave to us and the wisdom and stories he shared. Jeff and Kevin (& the McGrady family), I pray that God will give you comfort through the memories that you have. Your McGrady family is larger than you may realize, and we all share in this great loss.
Love Always,
Monica, Steve, Leah and Jay
