Family & Friends of Sean Graham
Sean Jamieson Graham The baby, lover of chocolate chip cookies and fried chicken. The only way we could get him to eat any other kind of meat was to pretend it was some kind of wild beast like a tiger or bear. He could and would dance the entire Michael Jackson’s Thriller on the stage at White Station Elementary School in between classes. Independent, God fearing; he fiercely loved his mom, dad, sisters, and brother. Loved all of his nieces and nephews. Never forgot a birthday or anniversary. I love you and will greatly miss you , as God welcomes you to your brand new life. Our Sean Baby forever.
Sean truly the best part of us. If there was a need he offered to help. If he had an abundance, he would share. He never took part in idle gossip. He would apologize before asking because he didn’t want to be a burden. Sean we will miss you terribly, but you are no longer in pain. It is written “We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord” 2 Corinthians 5:8, I know you are safe in HIS arms
