    What a fine lady she was. Always smiling and always welcomed us with open arms when we visited. She will be truly missed. She and Uncle Lewis were such a blessing when dad was ill and we are forever grateful for their presence during a difficult time. Love to all the family

  4. Joel and Sheila Graham,

    We are saddened by Aunt Tudy’S passing. I remember her fondly as always being a beautiful lady that always had positive things to say about everyone. I remember as a young child visiting with Aunt Tudy and Uncle Lewis eating rubbarb pie and picking wild mushrooms from the fields around Tipton. These are memories that I will always keep. We send our prayers and condolences to all her family. God speed Aunt Tudy

  5. You led a wonderful life at 102 years old. I’m glad I was with you when you passed. We all miss you and love you. Morris,

  6. Our sincere condolences to the entire family. We are thankful that Morie was there with her when she passed, I’m sure she found comfort in that. We will always find inspiration in the fact that Tudy worked up until she was 98 years old! Not many people can say that. May God Bless all of the Graham and extended family members.
