Dear Ethel and family,

Barbara and I were deeply saddened to hear of Graham's passing. We are always reminded of Graham when we see our wedding photographs that he took when we were married in 1972. Graham was a special part of the good years we enjoyed at Prudential. It was an honor for me to be a part of his President's Trophy-winning Southern Region "R" team in 1971.

Jeanne and family. We were so sorry to hear of your loss, but REJOICE! at heaven's gain. Even though we don't like to let go, just knowing he was received into the arms of Jesus brings great comfort. I pray the Lord will give you, your Mom and the rest of the family the "peace that passes ALL understanding" that only He can give.

In His love,

Al and Benita
