To Ray, and the entire family of Mr. Dix - I was so sorry to hear about your loss - you and I have never met, but I am a physical therapist who met your dad through Generation Solutions. I only evaluated him a few times - I did not actually treat him. I enjoyed visiting and praying with him very much. The times I visited with him were truly a blessing to me- he told me Christ is his Savior and Lord and that brings me great hope and peace. I know your Dad was well loved - I loved him as well, although my time with him was brief. May the Lord bring you comfort as you remember your Dad. I pray after you grieve, you can one day rejoice knowing he is with the Lord. God bless you

Ray, this is Donna. I just found out about your dad, and I am very sorry for your loss. I know what you are going through; Renee passed away on Sept. 1, and I know that it is going to take some time. I will leave my email address if you want to email me. I still think about you and hope that we can meet up one day.

This is for Ray, my cousin I have never really known; I am very sorry for your loss. I think of your dad as being someone who faced much hardship in life, as you have yourself. I always enjoyed reading correspondence from your dad to my parents. He usually sounded upbeat, and always brought honor and glory to his Lord and Savior. He has left all his physical ailments behind and has moved on to our Heavenly Father's Kingdom. I pray, Ray, that the Lord will fill you with his peace during this sad time; may you find joy in the morning.
My love to you, Your Cousin,

Absence of love was never the reason; sometimes love in not enough. Memories are the pictures we carry with us forever. You now walk the vast heaven we left behind are promised. I will see you there one day, look for me.
