This morning at about 7am (Utah Time) my sweet sister passed away peacefully with Mike, her husband, by her side as well as her daughter Cassie. She suffered from Cancer, a brain tumor, about 13 years ago. She had surgery on it which paralyzed half her body. She beat the cancer but then came down with diabetes. About 3 years ago, she nearly passed away, but after being given some blood, she came out of it and survived. She's been bedridden all these years. This past year she's been having some dementia symptoms. She hardly ate anything and she slept a lot. About a week ago, Mike finally took her off all meds except for the anxiety and calming meds that hospice gave him for her. Yesterday, she stopped talking and mostly just slept. She did say a couple of days ago that my dad was with her to take her home. Love you Sista!

My Brother posted this on facebook and I really liked it, so I copy/pasted it. Thanks D!
"Kairlee (Davidson) Graham post: To Family and Friends – On Sunday morning, July 8th, My Dear, Sweet, Beautiful sister, Kairlee, passed away…. Or better .... she was “Called Home”. She is only 1 year older than me. For many years she has been in bed due to the results of Brain Cancer and a Stroke. Her family has been extremely supportive of her, as they Loved her and Supported her to the very end. I will be forever grateful to them.

Her husband wrote: “Earlier in the week, Kairlee mentioned to me that she had seen her Dad. She said that he said nothing to her, but would just be standing inside the room. I felt a warm feeling, and was comforted with peace just after she told me that her Dad had come.”

My Mom wrote: “Kairlee did so much genealogy when she was well that she knows everyone up in the next world. I could give her a name, she could tell me where they lived, where they moved to, and who they married. We will all miss her. She will now be able to be with the family, at their reunions.”

Thank you all for visiting her at home over the years, and for your phone calls to her. Kairlee will be missed, and Forever Loved."


Her funeral is set for Thursday, July 12, 2012. She was 53 years old. She has 9 children and 17 grandchildren.
