I'm just learning of the passing of Mrs. Graham. I send my heartfelt condolences to her family and friends. I will always remember her sweet smile, laugh, genuineness, hospitality, I could go on and on about how great of a person she was to me. Mrs. Graham made me feel like I was apart of her family.
