Dear Barbara,
I just heard of Graham's death. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family. I have such fond memories of working with Graham. He was a kind and considerate man. Graham was more of a friend than a boss. I will never forget him. May God give you strength and comfort in the days and weeks ahead.

Dear Barbara and Graham's wonderful family,
You have been in my thoughts often in the past for your unconditional love & care of Graham. But this week, my thoughts & prayers are even more that you find comfort & assurance that you are loved & cherished unconditionally.
One cannot think of Graham without thinking of you, his family. Graham loved life. He especially loved you, Barb, his children, & grandchildren, and countless others. I cannot forget to mention Graham's love of telephones and jokes. I always anticipated & enjoyed the exchange of good humor.
This week is a mix of feelings & reflections. No one can deny the sadness of Graham's passing. There, too, is a relief that he no longer has to endure his battle with Parkinson's. But most of all, this is a week to celebrate Graham’s life. Graham truly enriched the lives of so many. My daddy, Ed Hamlet, Jayne, & our family count our blessings for knowing you and Graham. To you, we send our love.
