To the Ray Coy family,
We were sorry to hear of your father's passing. He faced his illness with bravery and believed in God's comfort. Not only was he a godly man, but he was also a wonderful neighbor. We enjoyed talking with him and shared many stories over the past 8 years. We will miss him a lot as both a neighbor and friend.
