I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family. She was an amazing sanctified woman of God beautiful inside and out. Her faithfulness, kindness, and unwavering service left a lasting imprint on everyone who knew her. She lived a life of purpose and devotion, and her legacy will continue through her family and many lives she touched. Her love for God, for her church, and her community will never be forgotten. May the Lord strengthen and comfort her husband, (Bishop Graham) children grandchildren, and loved ones during this time. Mother Graham since I was a kid you and your family has always welcome me into your home and I always thought of you as my mom and bishop my father because that's how you received me. The first things I always remember is when I first came to y'all home as a kid, and y'all were having bible study and I sat between you and Bishop. You said it's alright. Those moments ment a lot to me. Also the times I visited the church I was truly blessed. I love you and you will truly be missed. Matthew 25: 21 " well done, though good and faithful servant" psalm 116:15 " Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints"
