We are all so very sorry for your loss. Graham was a wonderful young man. I knew him since the third grade at OLL and through his friendship with our boys and spoke with him at length only 5 weeks ago. Our boys loved him, his friends loved him, and we will all miss him very much. May God's love be with Graham and your family during this time of overwhelming grief.

May God grant His peace and comfort to you in this time of great loss. My heart hurts for you but you will be joined together again in heaven. Never lose sight of that promise.
Your family has been and will be in my prayers.
