Sending condolences and prayers of comfort to the family. I hadn't seen Ms. Gravely in many years, but the Sunday dinners and some of the conversations she had with us girls, seems like just yesterday! She was a soft spoken, kind-hearted lady and I know that she's now resting peacefully in heaven. 🕊🤍🙏🏾

Mr.& Mrs. Gravely were like parents to me. I remember many evenings sitting around the dining room table sharing laughs. Mrs. Gravely always prepared my favorite meals and often called me down for dinner. I will miss her terribly and she will always live in my heart!
