Jerome A. Grayson

Mary Beth,

I am sure you probably don't remember me, but we went to church together at Calvary Bible Baptist Church in Monroeville many years ago. I am very sorry to hear of your father's passing. I pray that God's love will bring peace and comfort to you and your family during this sad time.

Sincerest condolences to the entire Grayson family on the loss of your father. The thoughts and prayers of my family are with you all.

Dear MaryJane and family,

My family and I extend our heartfelt and most sincere sympathy during this time of such loss. May God bless you and keep you in His care. Maggie Kanaan & family

Jerry was a great guy to work with. My sympathy goes out to your family in this great loss. 3/10/04 Midge

Words can not express the emotions I feel for the Grayson family. My Heart is with you all. You are in my prayers.

"Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room. I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are. Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow. Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together. Play, smile, think of me, pray for me. Let my name be ever the household word that it always was, let it be spoken without effect, without the trace of a shadow on it. Life means all that it ever meant. It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner. All is well."
