RE: Ollie Gray - RIP - jameson245 - 04-17-2017 [attachment=230] RE: Ollie Gray - RIP - jameson245 - 04-21-2017 Ollie had a nice memorial service. The sheriff's department had all kinds of ritual details going on. There was a changing of the guard type ceremony going throughout the service and since he was also military there was a very moving flag ceremony. His sons and a granddaughter spoke. Eddie sends her appreciation for all well-wishers. RE: Ollie Gray - RIP - Summer Dawn - 04-21-2017 I'm so glad you got to go to it!! RE: Ollie Gray - RIP - jameson245 - 04-22-2017 Me too. |
