Heaven has received another angel.  Truly sorry to hear of your loss.  My family's thoughts are with you all.

I'm sorry to hear of Mrs Graham's death. She was first and foremost Barbara's mom. I am lucky to have known her through Barbara.

Quigley as I have known her... Dorothy Graham, was always a part of my life since the age of 10 growing up in Fort Lauderdale until today. Her heartfelt advice, caring gestures, laughter and great talent will be missed immensely. Just remember Barb, your Mom will always be with you. Last weekend the morning sunlight cast beautiful rays though the orange bottle she gave me during our Sanibel visit, that had never happened before...I knew she was looking down and saying everything will be OK... we just need to savor all of the wonderful memories and be thankful for them...

I'm so happy I got to see Mrs. Graham not too long ago in Sanibel.  She had an energy about her that filled the room!  Mrs. Graham was so talented and I was lucky enough to have been given a handmade token from her for my graduation that I will always cherish.  I'll never forget her Christmas spirit and house full of nutcrackers.  We love you and miss you dearly!  I'll try and keep Barb out of trouble for you!

A Butterfly Lights Beside Us

A butterfly lights beside us, like a sunbeam... 
and for a brief moment it's glory 
and beauty belong to our world... 
but then it flies on again, and although 
we wish it could have stayed, 
we are so thankful to have seen it at all.

Dorothy Graham has just brightened up heaven!!  I will miss her so much.

We still have 2 of Dotties amazing, intricate, hand drawn greeting cards on our refrigerator.

Mrs. Hammaker even though I never physically met you I did learned how great of a mom and a person you were. There were nothing but great 
stories told about you from your 
amazing daughter. You were a magnificent person who left a huge mark on us. Rest in Peace, we'll take care of your daughter here!!!

Mrs. Graham,

You have been such a good role model for all Mothers. Thank you for sharing Barb with all of us. I will always treasure the artwork you made for me with my name. You will be missed!!

Let your Mom's love and legacy carry on through your heart and memories. Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, please know I am here for you.

Some of my favorite memories are from sitting at my aunt Dottsie's kitchen table learning about drawing and shading grapes, while she provided love and encouragement.  The stories she enjoyed telling of her two brothers gave me a connection between my dad and the uncle I never had the chance to meet.  I love you Aunt Dot.

I was always taken with and grateful for how Dottie treated me like another son, and always appreciated her sense of humor.  Barb, Dave, I'm sorry for your loss, but grateful for her long life.
