Sorry for your loss

Grayson was a good friend to me, my brothers and family. Many fond memories of time spend at the store he operated. A good man that always had a positive word. May God Bless the family during this time of loss.

I am so very sorry for your loss. May God Bless and comfort you during this most difficult time. Sending love and prayers to each of you.

Lala so sorry you lost Grayson; prayers for you as you go through the coming weeks. Let Jesus comfort you and give you peace as only he can. Hugs!!!N

In the early 60's I spent several wks. in Konnarock with my Aunt Carry. I was 12 yrs old. To this day, I remember that summer so well. You and Lala were so much a part of it.
Grayson and Lala were operating the old Lee Waters' store and I spent time visiting with them when I would go down there and collect my Aunt's mail.
They were always so good to me and I loved being around them.

It has been too long since I last saw them. Life has a way of doing that. We get caught...
