We always looked forward to visiting with Grady at our Solomon/Mackey family reunions on the Memorial-Day weekends, at gospel singings, or any time we came in contact with him. We always think of spiritual things when we think of Grady. He demonstrated love for his God, his family, and his church, not so much by what he said, but by his behavior, and sometimes by what he did not say. We will remember this kind, humble, gentle, God-fearing man, and look forward to meeting him in heaven.
