William Graves Sr.

Dear Bill and family --- So sorry to hear of your dear dad's passing. He was such a lovely man and a beloved father and grandfather. May his memories be a blessing to all who loved him and mourn ---

I´m sorry I won´t be able to attend the service. My love to you all

I was a French student in the 1990´s and Bill and Frannie welcomed me in their house, while they were absent! I spent my first night in the US in their house in Atlanta. They didn´t know me but they trust me. That was marvellous because I was so lost in this big country. I never had a chance to meet them while I was a student in UGA. I just found their name and as soon as I search about them I read that Bill Graves died recently and that the funeral will take place on Saturday. Life is...

Bill and Frannie were dear friends who shared our common goal of a cure for Type 1 diabetes back in the organization's early years. It is very sad to learn of Bill's passing. He was an amazing leader determined to be sure JDRF was on the right track and a formidable fundraiser for the cause. I hope many fond memoiries of their tireless work will help mitigate the loss you children undoubtedly feel. Joan Beaubaire

Grief can be so hard, but our special memories help us cope. Remembering you and your loved one today and always.

Condolences to the wonderful Graves families. We were friends of both your mom and dad from years ago at JDRF. We served on the International Board and attended countless meeting together. We carry the happiest memories of them both. Sue Sue & Don Aron [email protected]
