To all of the Grafs and extended family of Kay Graf:
I am so sorry for your loss. I felt lucky to know Kay; she and I shared a great mutual interest in music, and she was kind enough to so-sponsor me as a member of Wednesday Literary Society, where I enjoyed getting to see her regularly. I would wish for all of you that you would have a share of her great charm, humility, grace and well-developed sense of humor---great 'gifts' to all who knew her.
She is already missed here, but undoubtedly is glad to be lovingly welcomed by her Jack and many friends above!

To the Graf family, please accept my deepest condolences. May knowing that you are in the thoughts and prayers of many bring a measure of comfort. We look forward to the time when all things that cause sickness and death will be eradicated by God's Kingdom. Matthew 6: 9, 10

I have fond memories of Kay and 1st Community and Vaud-Villities. I sang with her in our Chancel Choir during Lowell Riley's directorship. This very pleasant, sweet and helpful woman also sang in Vaud-Villities for many years. She was such a people person, always asking about one's family and activities. Music was her passion and I am so happy that I shared moments with her. Now she is with the angels, raising her voice in "Alleluias."

We are so grateful Kay and Jack chose to live at First Community Village! We will miss Kay, her poems, and her determination. What a wonderful family she and Jack raised , to watch them love Kay these past several months was beautiful! We miss Jack, will now miss Kay, and we will miss Jack, Holly, and Laurie. She was so proud of all her family. I hope you find peace in knowing she is now with your dad, and they are happy.
