Not sure what to say?

Just an update after the memorial service. I tried to return the caulk gun to Modern Paints, but they told me to go ahead and keep it. Consequently, I wrote on it with magic marker "Grayum Vickers Memorial Caulk Gun" and screwed it to the wall in the Berkeley Prep Scene Shop. There it shall remain.
My best to all.

I too went to JFK and Clearwater High with Grayum and saw him a few times after high school and everytime he made me laugh out loud and I loved his sense of humor! I am very, very sorry for the entire families loss.

If I can be of service in some way,...

Laura & Boys,
As my first cousin, my memories of Grayum go back to our youth and summer reunions at maw maw and paw paw's in Charleston. Grayum was always fun to be around then because of his "genuine" personality.
That personality carried through each time that I met up with him in later years. The enitire Vickers family is a great family. I know that you have lost a great husband and father. Bill and John have lost a loving brother. I have lost a cousin, but I have fantastic...

I am heart broken over the passing of Grayum. Our sincere sympathy is extended to his wife Laura, and his sons who he was very proud of. Also we extend our sympathy to his brothers and his entire family.

Dear Laura & Family,
Words cannot express all the love and support your friends are trying to send you I hope that you feel it surrounding you and know that when you need us we will be there. May the wonderful memories help sustain you in the days to come.

My heart and prayers are with you and your sons during this time of loss. You are a very strong woman who lovingly provides strength and support to your family and friends. It is time now for you to let your friends provide this strength and support to you. Please call or email me if I can help out in any way.
