Dear Marlin, Ann and Family,
You have our deepest sympathy upon the passing of your brother, Greg, we know your hearts suffer great loneliness without him. We will lift you in prayer before the Lord, Jesus Christ, our sure comforter in times of trouble and provider of strength beyond measure to face the days ahead.

We are so sorry to hear of Greg's passing. I have such happy memories of teaching in Joplin and the entire Graff family. They made me feel so welcome in the community. I particularly remember Greg's sense of humor and the way he did not complain about life. He just took everything in stride and made the most of it. I always enjoy seeing Margaret and Ellsworth when we return to Joplin. It was a special treat to get to see Glenda at the 100 year reunion - hope to see you too Marlin! Rest in peace Greg, your days of pain are behind you!
I purchased a book to be added to my school library. The dedication page reads "Presented to the building #2 library by Candy Johnson in memory of my friend Gregory Graff." I know words can't ease your pain but I hope you will gain some comfort in knowing that others care and thought Greg was a great person! Sincerely Candy, Calvin, and Barbara Johnson

Greg will be missed. We were fortunate to be able to have said goodbye. I will never forget his kindness and that smile! His smile could light up a room.
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. You are in our prayers.
