Not sure what to say?

Hollis, my memory of you and the boys (Graham included) always brings a smile to my lips. The few times I visited your home I always felt a warm and generous reception. It was obviously a home full of love.
I know it's is nothing concrete to hold onto or hug, but that love is real strength for your family.
Our most heartfelt sympathy, Hugh & Birgit Foley

Dear Margaret and all Graham's family, I have been following the sad death of my friend Margaret's son from UK, and can sympathise with her loss, particularly as a mother myself. From what I have read, he was a son to be proud of and in his short life made a disproportionate impression on those whose lives he touched. My thoughts are with you at this sad time. Love Jean

Dearest Hollis, Aidan and Dylan,
Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Graham with us all. Our times on the river will never be forgotten. I look forward to more river miles together and more shared inventions from the boys.
I read of Graham's passing in an email from Jake Brostoff. We were all in some odd cohort of MURPs who finished but not quite on time, not quite on the PSU schedule.
I hope that while Graham's departure seems out of step for us now, that we may...

Dear Hollis -

I heard about Graham's death from a friend of his. Even though I did not know Graham, I was touched by how he had touched my partner's life.

For myself, I'm incredibly grateful to you for your courage and candor about Graham's battle with depression. You are an amazing and beautiful spirit.

My condolences and prayers are with you and yours.

Dear Hollis, Aidan and Dylan,

Balaji and I offer our sincere condolences to you on this sudden loss. Memories of my life in Portland, Oregon and the Bureau of Planning are incomplete without thoughts of Graham. While I sit here, miles away, I find it difficult to accept Graham's absence. He was such a wonderful, reliable friend and colleague. I cannot forget the cheerful bantering and jokes we shared. And …what a great team player he was! I had always imagined I would meet him...

Dear Hollis,Dylan & Aidan,
I just returned from a 2 week trip and went to the Irvington Club and was stunned to read about Graham on the bulletin board. Oh Hollis my heart goes out to you, your boys and the others in your families. Thank you for sharing a part of Graham's story. When I think of your family, I can see Graham's smiling face, bicycle gear and the happiness of a loving family and of course the little Dylan who I think of as a songbird, as well as the times I shared with...

I was so touched by the beautiful tribute printed in Graham's memory. Thank you for sharing and helping us find some sense in the midst of tragedy. As a sufferer of mental illness, I appreciate the candor and will focus on the thought that "He is our teacher now, reminding us to love, to talk to one another, and to hold each other close."

As an instructor, Graham had a profound impact on the students he taught. His optimism and dedication to the environment, planning, and conscious living was evident in and out of the classroom. To me personally, he offered a selfless source of professional guidance and an ethic worth emulating. I'm saddened by this sudden loss - my condolences are with the Clark family.

Hollis, Aidan & Dylan -

We are terribly sorry for your loss. Our hearts go out to you all.

If there is anything that we can do, please don't hesitate to ask.

In sympathy,
Ernest, Sydney, Trey (Dylan's class mate) & Jeffrey
