Raymond, Dorene, Christine and Barbara....I am so sorry for the loss of your wife/mother and you have my deepest sympathy. She was a sweet, kind, and friendly person who didn't know any strangers as she loved to talk to people and considered everyone her friend. She loved her family and was very prould of all of you.
I, too, share in your grief as she was a wonderful sister to me. If i needed an ear to listen, she had one; if I needed a shoulder to cry on, she had one. Ray I still remember the fun we had when you and Sister came to Florida and stayed in "The Winnie" in the lot next to me. Those are good memories that I will never forget. Yes, God has taken a loving wife, mom, and sister but remember, He only takes the best. He has taken away her pain and suffering and she is now having a big family get-together in Heaven just like the ones we used to have here.
I pray that God will give you strength and wrap His arms around you in comfort. I love you all.
