Ruby and family, I am so sorry to hear about Grady. He was a very special person to me and to so many other people as well. Wish I could be there but still in a brace from my last back surgery so I can not go far at a time. He will be greatly missed and my thoughts and prayers are with you during this hard time, but we know where he is right now don't we. Love you and maybe will get that way before very long. God bless.

Dear Ruby and family, I am so sorry to hear about Grady. He was a good man but you know that. It's a small world and Russ knowing Grady from Ft Bragg proves that. Grady knew Russ before I did. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of love to you and I will come see you when I come home on my next visit. Mama (Brenda)is here with me in DC and pulled up the Greensboro News & Record and we were in total shock when she read it. She will be coming to see you as soon as she gets home. Sending love and prayers your way, Russ, Wendy & Dylan Carpenter Brenda Tuggle

For Ruby, James & Delores: Janine and I send our regrets on the passing of Brother Grady. We are currently visiting our daughter and her family in Texas, but saw the obituary on the e-mail. You have our sympathy and prayers, but just think he is spending his first Christmas with the Lord Jesus! He was a faithful servant and friend. We will miss his fellowship. May the Lord bless and comfort you as you adjust to his passing. Love in Christ, Mike & Janine Neal Psalm 116:15
