Dear Mr. Gray,
We are extremely saddened by this news. She always seemed to be the calm, warm light next to your wise-crackin' silliness. Knowing you both has touched our lives and set an example for us to strive for in our marriage. She will be missed. Also miss seeing you and your daughter at the Smokehouse. Take care.
Sincerely,
Lori & John Maywald
