Graf and family: I am so sorry to hear of Elizabeth's death. I worked with Graf at Exxon a number of years ago and my family and I were privileged to attend different parties that Graf and Elizabeth would have at their home. We have such fond memories of these times together. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
