I'm glad that I got to see Raymond at Mom & Dad's anniversary party. I will always remember his joyous nature, and loving heart. I hope to see all of you soon, at a family reunion. Maybe you could give Donna a call, and ask if she'll start to organize this reunion. My love and blessings go out to all of you.

Nancy, Lynne and Brenda,
Our lives were made richer through the years with our friendship with 'Shag'. May God continue to care for him as you did while he was with us. We are so glad to have seen him just recently and to have his smile as our last memory of him. May he rest in peace.
Our love to all the family.
