Hi. I only found about Mrs. Grayson's passing from my sister, Elizabeth (nee Luke) Hillier. I apologize for using her name Grayson as it is not meant in disrespect, rather, it is how I have known Mrs. Grayson for my entire life, including when I was very young in my Dad's pharmacy, Luke's Drug Store, in Sutton. I never knew her as Vera, even when I was her employer - no she was always Mrs. Grayson because I had and will always have a tremendous respect for her values, her love of country music which evolved into my love as well, and her ethics for the right thing, hard work, and respect. I grew up under the tutelage and mentorship of Mrs. Grayson and I KNOW I am a better person for it. I cannot think of a negative word to say about Mrs. Grayson, and I lament that, except when we chatted back in 2016, I never stayed in touch with her. Those are days and years that I cannot take back. Above all else, Mrs. Grayson enriched people's lives and what better tribute is there to a person? I am confident that when I take a hot tub tonight, I will see a brighter star in the cosmos that indicates that she is still guiding us, as she had done for my many years of development. God bless you, Mrs. Grayson, as your legacy remains in our heart. Dave Luke
