Not sure what to say?

In loving memory. We will love you and miss you always.

Remembering my ol buddy and Neighbor always ,

We met during the family reunions in WV over the years, and that's how I came to know him. He was a gentleman in all regards. My late father and mother, Woodrow and Irene (Thompson) Bailey, knew him many more years than I, and both would say the same, he's a true gentleman.

Sister Patsy, I was sadden when I heard the news about Brother Graham.God has received a beautiful angel!He will truly missed!
