Graham Family,
My sincere sympathy. Carl was a wonderful friend and I enjoyed working with him for many years. The visitation and services was a great time for our group at KARK to get together and reminisce about the fun times we had with Carl. He was one of a kind!

I am Robert's sister, signing for him. In visiting with family, etc., he missed signing the book at the funeral. He will miss Mr. Graham. Ruth
Dear Karen,
Ricky and I were so sorry to hear about your Dad. We all know that he is now is a better place without suffering from Alzheimers and is now back with your Mom once again. I lost my Dad about 6 weeks ago and actually his obituary is a couple pages down from your Dad. Please know that you, Ritchie and your family are in our prayers. Love you, Paula & Ricky Hearne
