I remember visiting Uncle Knotley's home about 1941 0r 2 when the baby passed away. I do not know if I saw Brady at the time. I was born in 1938. I remember my Mother, Ruth Melinda Reavis Graham daughter of Carl Floyd Reavis talking about uncle Knotly and visiting his brother Uncle Luther & Aunt Mary a few times. I live in Cypress, Texas at the ripe age of 82. My cousin Brady seems to have had a very productive life & I wish I could have known him better. My brother, Sherman (1940) lives in Wilson, N.C. & we talk to each other about twice a week. I am blessed w a wonderful brother & I have talked to Uncle Luther's granddaughter in Spencer, N.C. about 3 years ago & tried to talk to Pete Reavis but learned that he had passed away in or near Statesville, N.C. a few yrs. prior to my phone call. I also visited, Aunt Blance & Uncle Tom w my parents a few times when I was little & was told that Polly lived in Dallas but have heard no more about where she is now. I talked w one of Uncle Luther's grandchildren at the antique store in Spencer N.C. about 3 or 4 yrs. ago but have lost touch because of my own health problems.

I was probably around Brady a few times when my Mother Ruth Melinda Reavis (Carl Floyd Reavis's oldest daughter) & Dad, Herman Guy Graham visited your parents at the babies funeral (about 1942) & one or two times later. I remember Uncle Knotley's presence & was probably around Brady but do not remember him. I was born in 1938 and my only brother, Sherman was born 18 months later. I now live in Cypress, Texas & my brother lives in Wilson, N.C.. I am now 82. I rememberalso visiting uncle Luther & his family a few times and Aunt Blance when she lived w uncle Tom in a log cabin w a dirt floor. I think Polly lived or lives in Dallas but do not have any more info. on her. I am happy that my cousin, Brady had a productive life & wish that I could have know him longer. I have a husband Mac & two grown children: Kevin Smith who lives in Spring, Tx. & Mindy who has been in London for almost 2 years w her job.

Brady was such a wonderful, sweet man. So many of us have lost a parent in the last few weeks and the pain is real but hopefully all the wonderful memories will get us thru.

Brady was a good man and a long time friend from the Salisbury Business College Days in the late fifties. Our prayers ask for family comfort.

I am so sorry to hear of Brady's passing. I am Cathy Brown. I work for Fisher-Greene Insurance in Granite Quarry. I wrote Brady's auto, and homeowner policy. He would always say that he was lost without his wife. He is with her now. He truly touched my heart. My thoughts, and prayers are with his family.
