Nancy and Jeffrey,
Sorry to hear of Rays' passing. I thought alot of Ray and will miss his
friendship and his since of humor. He was a special person and I enjoyed all the stories that he told about his trips to Hanford. We had a good time together. We are praying that God will comfort you through is time and our Prayers are with you and Jeffrey.

I just heard of
Ray's death. My prayers and love go with you. Our losses leave us lonely at times,but the love and past fun times make it bearable as well as knowing that he is in a better place. We are all living so we can be there with our Lord. I had a moment of anger when Al died that he gets to be there first. Again how wonderful that you have good memories. Please contact me when you feel up to it.

We are so very sorry for your loss. Ray was a fine man, who many thought highly of. We will always smile when we remember him. Please take comfort in the fact that this seperation from Ray is temporary, and that you will be together again when God's will has been done.

A very caring and gentle man who was very devoted to his beloved Nancy. He always had a gentle smile even when in discomfort and he always tried to add humor to keep his friends smiling. A very special man who will be sorely missed by all who knew him. I think of the current song "Waiting on a Woman" and it definitely applies to Ray.
