Mom, Your 83rd birthday just passed on Mon 26, 2015. this is your No.3 Son Moe. I've wanted to write something in this damn Guest Book ever since you passed away. But for the first time, for me, words have failed me. You were, are, and will always be my Inspiration, my Beacon in the Night, but most of you are simply my Mother.

You gave me the will and way to go on, when I thought I couldn't go on. You comforted me, and showed me by being stronger than I could ever be when facing adversity day by day, hour by hour, and second by second when you had to. I know we lied to each other every day how we felt. but Mom when I saw the strength you had fighting the painful debilitating medical problems faced every day, it gave me the strength to keep going. You always said, Son, you just have to keep on going, no matter what, and make the best of it. So I continue on Mom

That's you Mom, the Best of It, which is Everything to Us.

I love you, Clifton...

Maw Maw Graham was matriarch of this family in the most honorable, and humble way I have ever witnessed. She will be forever missed, but never forgotten! She left a legacy though, it was profoundly evident in the last few days as we gathered as a family. She gave us the priceless gift of each other. I will be forever grateful!! Love you all!
