Not sure what to say?

Remembering Rev. and Mrs. Graves today, both were my mentors. Two great persons that were dear to my heart.

I will always remember Rev. Graves for his mentoring of me and showing me how to be a great leader in God's church.

His friendship and kindness to Carol and me will always be cherished and remembered. RIP

To a mentor, father, confidant, teacher; one who was selfless and was a bold servant with a servant's heart...one who accepted ALL as God's creation and met you where you were in times of need..That was the Rev. Graves that I knew...The one who appointed me as the FIRST WOMAN President of UCM and encouraged me to plant a church! I am sure God is saying well done my good and faithful servant...you have been FAITHFUL over a few things....Thank you Rev. Graves for giving me a chance as a woman...

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

A light has gone out on earth, but shines bright in heaven. He was a great help to me in my most trying time, God has blessed him. My prayers are with you all, Mrs. Graves, Paul, Valeria and the res of the family. Sincerely, Betty Judy Griffin, Charlotte, NC
