Mary, I have JUST learned of Graham's passing. My old college roomate in Savannah sent me the obitutary from the Savannah Morning News of Mike's passing. This is the first that I have heard of any of this, and also of Betty's passing. I thought so much of all of you and am so sorry that Cliff did not let me know. My sincere sympathy to you and Anne. Connie and I share the void that all of you must feel just now, but our prayer is that our heavenly Father will soon fill that void with wonderful memories. Sincerely, Edwin
