Gloria and Kimberly Annette 

Dearest Sol and family:
There isn’t a day passing that I don’t think about something that Dot would say or I’d have remembrance of an event taking place that makes me smile. Kimberly just asked last night about you. 
Dorothy is watching over us from the Kingdom and sending us the comfort we all need during this time. 

To the Grahams:

She will always be with you.  She is looking down and walking among you always....smiling and protecting you.

I am thankful that my mother developed and maintained a friendship with such a special person that God has blessed us with.   She has helped me develop into the human being I am today and I will be forever grateful.  

Gone, but certainly not forgotten.  We are watching over Sol and trying to keep him engaged.  Love you dearly,

Linda M. Plummer

Dear Sol, 
I am very saddened to learn of Dorothy’s recent passing.  Please know that my thoughts are with you at this most difficult time.
Sincerely,
Bob

To the Graham Family:

Mrs. Graham was always so kind and gracious to me; many others were blessed by her presence.  Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.   May God bless, keep, and comfort you in the days ahead.

I simply wanted to send my sincere condolences to Brother S. Graham and family! Brother and Sister Graham and I met at Reid Temple North, (now known as Kingdom Fellowship AME Church). Although Brother Graham is an Army man, and I a Navy man I never held that against him!  It was indeed a delight to see them as we sat on the same Pew, enjoying fellowship one to another and worship to God! May Sister Graham rest in peace and her memory be a comforting blessing to Brother Graham, family, and friends! 

We extend our condolences during this difficult time.  Heaven has gained another beautiful angel.  Praying God’s embrace will comfort you and give you peace.

I have happy memories of being with you and Dorothy. You brought out the best in each other . She was quiet but lively, a great listener  and loved being with you.  She will be missed.  My condolences Sol, to you and your family. See you soon.

To the family Sol Graham and my high school classmate Dot.
      It is with a heavy heart, to hear of the home going of my friend, classmate, and basketball teammate, known as Dot. We played basketball together on the girls’ basketball team at Jones high school in Trenton, North Carolina. May God hold you close as you walk through this valley of the shallow of death. There is no need to fear. God promised never to leave you. Praying for you and your family.

Solomon:

From my evening prayers, I prayed for you my friend.  

Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen.

We always looked forward to seeing Dorothy at the Sandy Spring Bank retreats and feel it was a blessing to have shared time with her. She was a woman of integrity and one who clearly loved her family.  Dorothy was an example to all on how to live a meaningful life.  She will be missed.
Our condolences to Sol, family and friends.

Solomon. Michelle, Angela and family:

In honor of my BEST and LIFELONG friend Dorothy L Graham. Over 60+ years she and I have shared the same instilled values of being persons of integrity. Honored to be wives and being mothers. Sharing in our years as career managers in the Federal Executive Service.  I’m thankful for all those years although they are
not nearly enough. Yet the Lord says it is so. The bell has tolled. You had to leave me/us. I will have nothing but great memories. I looked at so many pictures but chose this one as we were in our twenties!!! Husbands being honored at Georgetown University for their work in Microbiology.  I’m saddened yet I’m happy. This Angel friend of mine is free from all her pain. Hallelujah. Amen. I’m shouting I LOVE YOU  (DOT) Dorothy Graham. 🙏🏽

Blessings to you all:
Gloria Jean - Rockville Maryland 

My deepest sympathies to the Graham family. I recall Mrs. Graham's friendly smile, actions & deeds in serving the church since my TPCBC days.  I was glad to interact with the Grahams at KFAME. She'll truly be missed.

To The Graham Family, 
I'm sadden to hear about the passing of Mrs. Graham, she was such a sweet and kind person, and one of my favorite patients. I will miss her dearly.

Sol, 

I will long remember your beautiful and gentle wife at our Sandy Spring Bank retreats. She absolutely lit up when she talked about her grandchildren. She made the world a better place, Sol, and you do too. You were a good husband to her, and it is clear that she loved you dearly. May her memory be a blessing.

Patty Ruppert

I viewed Mrs. Graham as a mother growing up.   She is one of the highest quality human beings I have ever met in my life.  I wish God could create more people in her image.   Prayers to the family and may she rest in peace forever.
