Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Dear Graf family We’re so sorry we missed your mother’s service. Your parents were very special people & you children are living proof. Love & prayers Gus & Marilyn Messinger
Joan and Graf Family, Our prayers and thoughts are with you all in this time of sorrow.
To the family, I extend my deepesst sympathy to you at the loss of your mother, and someone I considered a friend. I have lots of good memories of Albina as I’m sure you all do. Being an orphan now myself, One memory was being sent home by your mom from Joan’s birthday party, because I was biting the other kids. I truly do understand the grief and yet comfort knowing she is no longer suffering here on earth. I hope mom, dad, Joe, and Albina have had quite a reunion in heaven. My Love, Cathie Balbierz
Gram, I will miss you very much. Thank you for being such a strong leader. Your example will live on in us. Thank you for the sacrifices that you made for us. Thank you for your example of marriage. Thank you for a strong and loving family. Words and things cannot fill the void that you have left. We will miss you for now and hope to see you again. Thank you, most of all, for the faith that you shared with everyone who knew you. I will treasure this gift most of all. I love you.
