Shug's open-minded spark and color set the tone for downtown Lexington in the 70's and 80's. She was an essential part of my joy in living here through those interesting times...and she is bound to be shaking things up wherever she is headed!

I'm a better person for having known Shug. She was a generous, fun-loving spirit, an "Auntie Mame". Love and good thoughts. Judy Carmichael

My Democrat buddy at Homewood. I gave her a yellow dog Democrat mug one time and she loved it. She always wanted it said about herself! , "she never voted for a Republican". We had many fun chats.

Lexington is a better place because of Shugg Petite Graves.

Loved Mrs. Graves like my other mother. In fact, I probably spent more time at her house! Gregory, Harrison, Hale, and Van Meter are as much my family as anyone. She is the brightest lady with whom I have ever been acquainted. I will miss her terribly. Zandy Campbell
