Dear Nancy and Family, So sorry for your loss, I enjoyed all the "Dad" stories over the years.

To the family of Dr. Grais,

Many years ago when I was in my twenties (I am now in my
early sixties!), your Dad was my dermatologist. If I'm
remembering correctly, his office was then on Forest Drive.
Not only was he a very competent and capable doctor,
he was also one of the very nicest human beings I have ever
met. When I read his obituary in the Mercury News,
it brought tears to my eyes. I just wanted you to know that
though it has been more than thirty years since I last
saw your Dad, he remains in my heart......always.

With sympathy and warm remembrance,
Diane (Burkholder) Jones
