Grandad,

You will be missed more than you can ever imagine. I love you!! I know that you suffer no more and I am grateful for that. I could have never asked for a better Grandfather. You have left me with many wonderful memories of vacations, races and all the other fun times we shared. I know you like us to be happy and never sad so I will cry tears of joy and think of all the good times. I promise to give back to my children the same love you gave to us. I promise to continue to take them on those family vacations just like you did for me. Again I love you and will greatly miss you!! Don't you worry about us, we all will take care of one another the way you taught us to.

Love you always and forever,

Kathleen and family,

I have some wonderful memories of years past visiting with you and can honestly say, I don't ever recall seeing Raymond when he wasn't smiling! The distance between us has limited the time we can spend together, which makes me even more grateful to have visited with all of ya'll a few years back...and again, Raymond was smiling!
Please know my heart, thoughts and love are with each and very one of you, now and always.
