Dear Nancy,

I was indeed saddened when I learned of the passing of your beloved husband. I have always respected Ray's wisdom and enjoyed his friendship, whether it was boating on the Niagara River or working with him on a school project. Ray was a valued colleague with much expertise, always ready and willing to "lend a hand".

Please accept my sincerest sympathy.

Dear Nancy - and Donna and all the family ----
Times like these are very hard! I lost my father two years ago, and his presence is still all around us. I know the love you have will continue through out the years ahead. We pray that God will give you the peace that surpasses all understanding, and the hope of life ahead in the garden of eternity. My favorite song is "I Can Only Imagine" for it brings the real feelings of what happens at a time like this. We can only imagine what it is like to meet our Savior face to face - but what joy knowing Ray is enjoying His presence personally. Lots of love and prayers, hugs and smiles - and warm wonderful memories.
