Graham will be missed as a gentle man, good listener and a learned mind to the end. He thought less of his incapacity and more of his family and will be sadly missed.

Dear Judy and Family,
Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
I have fond memories of doing dog agility with Graham (and his spaniel, Tarsh).
His presence at the agility club was a blessing to me. May knowing that Graham is with our Heavenly Father,
free from all distress, give you great strength and comfort.
God Bless,
Melissa Jeffries
