My heart feels heavy with sorrow upon learning the news of Graham's passing. I have truly been touched by his compassion, humor, integrity, heart and soul. I will always hold a special place in my heart for Graham. Over the last three years I have grown close to Graham. Not only have I learned from Graham's vast knowledge of the legal field, but more importantly I will take life lessons with me. I used to love listening to all of Graham's stories. Just when I would think I had heard my favorite Graham story, I would soon hear another which I enjoyed even more than the last. Graham always seemed to make time to let people know how much they meant to him. Even if it meant traveling an hour just to stop into a function to say hello for a few minutes, you could always count on Graham to be there. In visiting with him a couple weeks ago, I found myself noticing how even given the circumstances and his condition, Graham seemed to be helping me throught his difficult time. Graham, being the wonderful person he is, stayed positive throughout our whole visit and thinking about that and knowing that he is happy and peaceful helps me cope.
I will truly miss Graham and his loving and caring spirit. I will be celebrating his life with all of those who he has touched on December 13.
