Bea's Raspberry Pie in a Graham Cracker Crust

Bea is my sister in law, Roger's sister. Roger told his college roommate, Ed, that sins could be forgiven for a raspberry pie in a graham cracker crust. Ed caused some friction one day, he wanted to get back on Roger's good side. So he called Bea and got the recipe. When Roger came home from work, Ed handed him the pie and said, "Here is the pie, now I do not want anymore grief over this!"
