Dear Faye and family,
I am so sorry to hear of Graham’s passing. I know all of you will miss him so much. I always remember his smile, his welcome to everyone who visited your home.
He was truly a special person, husband, father, grandfather and a great friend to all who knew him.
You all are in my thoughts and prayers during this sad time.

Myra Ramsey
Faye & Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Faye, you and Graham have been apart of my life for so many years. I have many fond memories.
Vikki, I just wanted you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you. If there is anything I can do please let me know!
Faye and Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss and pray that the Lord will hold you in his hands during this difficult time and continue to bless your family.
Graham was such a fine individual and gentleman. As long as we’ve known the two of you (about 30 years) I don’t think we ever saw him other than in a good mood. Doug commented on that last summer when we brought you the tomatoes, etc. from the garden. We really enjoyed the time we spent with the two of you. We always enjoyed our visits.
Dear Faye and family,
My sincere sympathy for you and all
your children and sisters and brothers of Graham. He was always one of the men I respected and knew he was a good man and father.
His reward is now in heaven.
Mary Huntley Walker & family
buddy and jug, so sorry to hear about your dad. i see your mom occasionally and she kind of updates me about how you guys are doing. i remember your dad coming to watch us play ball (though i don’t know that i ever talked with him very much)and he sure seemed like a nice man. again my condolences to your family and best wishes to you all.
Dear Faye and family,
How very sad it was to read Graham’s obituary; however, he is now rejoicing with Jesus, Donnie, and many loved ones! What wonderful memories I have of the Graham Fox family and how each family member made a lasting impression on my life, for this I am most grateful. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers as our God tenderly heals your hearts from your loss.
With much love and appreciation,
Sonny
