It has comforted me some to read many of these messages, to know that a man receives the love he deserves when he gives without judgment. I am thankful to have known Raz in this lifetime. It is a great blessing I will always cherish. To Sondra and the family, you remain in my prayers and will forever. Thank you for sharing him and giving him the joy he so freely shared with the rest of us.

The goal is not to live forever on Earth, but to give something to Earth that will last forever. Thank you, Mr. Raspberry. I pray for strength and peace for the family, our community, and everyone with whom this positive, driven, and inspirational man crossed paths. God bless.

"Your best shot at happiness, self-worth and personal satisfaction - the things that constitute real success - is not in earning as much as you can but in performing as well as you can something that you consider worthwhile." ~William Raspberry~

Dear Razz,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father. As so many have said before me, your father was not only your role model, but ours as well. So honored to have been along for the journey. Everday was an adventure just waiting to read columns that provoked debates, and open dialogue. What an ICON!

Prayers to you and your family,

Mia Powell Liley and Family
