They say time will heal your pain and your loss.
But time did not know this man the way you and your family and grandchildren knew him ,so to you Sharon and your family I will just say eventually the pain will subside but it will never go away, There will alway's be something, a song,a joke just something that will alway's remind you of him.
I suppose that is gods way of not letting us forget what a great man and what an impact this man had on all of us and how much his family ment to him.
Kia kaha Kana Whanau may god watch and heal you all through this tough time.
No more pain and no more suffering.
R.I.P. Graham.
