Although you are gone, you are thought of often, I couldn't have asked for a better father-in-law. I cherish the memories of the many unannounced visits when you and I sat and talked often. Your granddaughters speak of you affectionately and miss you dearly.

Happy Father's Day

In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Today I am reminded of something you once shared with me. "To live in the hearts we leave behind is to never die". You are the truest example of these words.

They say the sadness goes away but when you lose your hero it never does. You are greatly missed, today and everyday.

Happy Father's Day.

It's still hard to believe you have gone, you remain in our hearts and our prayers.
As night falls, I know the streets of heaven will be crowded with angels tonight.

It has been two years since you have passed on and the loss is still great. Please know that we think of you often and miss you dearly.

Graves Family,

Very sorry for the loss of your Father. I knew him for a very short time, but was glad to have met and talked to him. I told him I would look out for his second child, Reynoldo.
Also, thanks to Vann and Reynoldo for making me a pallbearer. I was among the honored.

God Bless, Brian A. Garner

Dear Van, Reynaldo & Graves family members,
My deepest & heartfelt sympathies regarding your loss, time is a great & honest healer, you are in my thoughts and prayers. May God continue to bless, guide and keep you both (all) peaceful.
Best,

R Vann & Family.... Please except my deepest condolences for the lost of your father. Continue to be Blessed.

Van and Reynaldo,

Please accept my deepest condolences. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family in this difficult time.

To Vann and Reynaldo, death has no sorry that God cannot heal. Your father was proud of you both. He is with God and out of all his pain. Be strong and hold on to God's unchanging hand.

Van, please pass along condolences to your entire family, from me and my family. You are in our prayers.

Van sorry to hear about your father. My family also wanted to express their deepest condolences.

I never met Mr. Graves - but as an old (and I like to think dear) friend of Reynoldo (Vann) - I can only imagine what he has a father did to contribute to Vann's upbringing to make him the person he is today.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

Reynoldo and Van I am sorry to hear of the passing of your Father. My sympathy is with you at this time.
Love Cousin Mary (Margaret's Daughter) Please contact ME!!

To the family of the late Dr. Albert Van Graves, i would like to extend my deepest sympathy in the passing of your father. May your faith and trust in God sustain you at this time of bereavement. i will always have fond memories of Van.

Love your cousin, Anita Andrews

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.

To the Graves Family

Brenda & I send our deepest Condolence

We truly will miss Brother Graves, and I will miss the Dialogue that I use to have with him on Sundays.
Brother Graves was the kind of gentleman who didn't mind sharing his past experiences with myself.
One thing that we shared with one another was how much we loved and respected our wives, I used to joke with him and tell him that he robbed the craddle when he met you Shelia.....but Brother Graves was a true gentleman. And I and my son Leroy Jr held him at the highest esteem. We Appreciate the support and encouragement he gave Buddy when he was seeking a College to attend. Brenda thought very highly of Van also........You never know who's watching you but......Brother Graves thanks for being the kind of man that you were, And may God continue to bless and comfort your family, And Shelia if we can ever be of assistance to you please dont hesitate to let us know, even if it's something as simple as mowing your grass.

Love Your Friends

Leroy & Brenda
