Sorry to hear of Wilbur's death. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. My husband and I are in Florida until March and cannot be there for the service. Stay strong Ginny.

Wilbur will be gone, but not foregotten. I enjoyed visiting with him at the Graham reunion last year . Wilbur's mother baby set my sisters and I when we were little.
I remember when Martha was born and came home from the hospital.
My mother was Larua Graham.
