I miss Grant's smile and humor. He was such a genuine person who never met a stranger. I enjoyed seeing him at our Kemper Reunions. He's on my mind especially today. Hugs to the family.

Grief over the death of a loved one is normal, and may be properly expressed. After the death of his close friend Lazarus, Jesus gave way to tears, (John 11:35). Please be assured, your pain does not go unnoticed. God cares.

Dearest Graybill family, We had the awesome privilege and honor to know your precious Grant for too short of a time. He shared his youth, laughter, and humor with us, which only made us long for more! In the short time we knew him, we knew he was one of those rare and beautiful souls! An incredible star that shines so brilliantly only to go too quickly. An Angel who blessed all who knew him with his presence for too brief of time. Through his passing, this Angel has taught me to love more deeply, to hold my friends and loved ones tightly and let them know how precious they are more frequently if not daily, for tomorrow is never promised. So to Grant we will say,"Thank you Grant for teaching us to love more fervently. If I could turn back the hands of time I would let you know how awesome you are, how loved and needed you are. Such a rare treasure you are! So Grant, though we didn't know you for very long we already knew we loved you. You will be deeply missed." To the Graybill family, you are in our thoughts and our daily prayers. Thank you for blessing us with such an awesome young man...we are deeply sorry. In God's Love, The Millers

Jake & Susan our prayers are with you to give strength though,
The season of life is here
And the reason to live is clear
We've waited 'till who knows when
For the time to begin again
It's more than the change of time
It's something that's in all our minds
That no matter where or when
For endings are only
Places where all things begin
And the end is near
Of things we have grown to fear
We worry and reason why
With the times that change our lives
But more than the changing time
Is the image in all our minds
Of where it should be or when
For endings are always
Places where all things begin
Oh, look at the sun
On every stage, in everyone
Ah, stand in the light
As we get on, we will put up a fight
(Places where) all things begin...
We will miss hearing him say:
(Theirs Big Daddy Jim & Mamma B)
You will always be in our hearts.
