Dear Betty,

When I informed my mom of Ray's passing, she sent this message:

This saddens me. Thanks for the info. If you see Betty let her know I am truly sorry for her loss, but that I am happy for Ray for he is now home.
Love, Judy (in Tucson, AZ)

I am sorry that I will not be able to attend the memorial service on Saturday. I will keep you all in my prayers. ~Sue
