Cheryl, my thoughts are very much with you in the
loss of your lifetime companion Graham. He was
delightful, generous, and compassionate. I have
always fond memories of the time he spent with
David during his illness- forever thankful. To
have shared moments of reconnection at the
Seminar luncheons with both of you, a blessing.
Rest well Graham, memories to hold close.
