I'm sorry of the demise of Daryl Graves. He will be truly loved and missed. The Wilson and the Graves family had a great relationship in the Shiloh church back in the 70's that was made possible through the connection of Mrs. Francis Graves and my mother (Mrs. Minnie Bowen) and my father (Deacon Kenneth Wilson)that is where the bond began. So, my prays are with you, Allison P. Wilson. If you would like to reach out to me further you can contact me @ 215-833-7700.
