Dear Barrie and family, so sad to learn from my cousin, Sharyn, today of your loss of a wonderful Dad and person. I am Anna Lee (Graves)Fulwider's NY cousin; my Dad was William T. Fulwider of Raphine, VA. Lucille F. Wade and Sister Raphael (Elizabeth) Fulwider, OSF of Fayetteville, NY, are cousins as well as Sharyn F. Billings. You all made us feel so welcome over the years at the great 4th of July picnic's. We would come with Everett and Erle and Page, Sandra and Al Elkins and Kim and sons and Shirley DeVier and family; Sharyn & Roger Billings and family. My son Edwin P Walker came also (now from Maui, HI). We will never forget these great family gatherings that mean so much to so many. Our email is [email protected] if you'd like to keep in touch. We'll be in VA next June or July to see Lucille and Sharyn and take art lessons. Your Mom and I exchanged notes at Christmas and other times and exchanged some ways to fix food too! Your Dad reminded me of a classy gentleman who should have been one of our Presidents of our wonderful America! Our sincere sympathy to you all, Karen (Fulwider-Walker) and Marty VeRost

Barrie and family, I just heard about your father's death Sunday from a family member on the Graves side. Losing your mom and dad so close together must be hard. I am Anna Lee Fulwider's granddaughter and Lucille's niece. I guess the last time I saw all of you was at a July 4 picnic. Your dad always made us feel so welcome. Please accept my belated condolences.
