Uncle Ray, you will be greatly missed by your family. I will always remember the summer of '75' when I came out to Arizona with my aunt, uncle and cousins and rode a horse for the first time. I'm glad that you and Aunt Pat came and visited us in Ga. You are forever in our prayers! Love, Marylou and Ken Bishop and family
