Linda, we were saddened to read about Ray in today's paper. I'm so glad we were able to spend a few minutes with the two of you when Ray officiated at Shirley's funeral a year or so ago. Our plan is to try to get to the funeral home this evening but, if not, please know you and your family are in our thoughts. Our prayer is that God will wrap His arms around you and that you will be able to feel His love, comfort, and strength.
