A celebration of your life Mr. Rob McCray. I've spent many nights in your home running in and out, me Karen and Rosie up all night laughing, talking and eating and not once did you fuss. You are greatly missed. Those memories make me smile and I know you're smiling too, wow those were the days right, but don't worry Mr. McCray we'll make sure Rosie and Diara are fine too. God Bless.

It's been a year since you've been gone. It seems just like yesterday that we parted. I miss you soooo much words just can not explain. No one knows how "MY" pain is but you and God. I am trying to be strong but sometimes trying to move on is so complicated and I just don't know what to do. But I do know you are within me and I am keeping my eyes on the Lord. May you R.I.P. dad, and we will meet again. I love you!

I had the pleasure of working with McCray at the Science Museum of Va. He was such a sweet person. He had a great love for people. He would always welcome you with his hearty laugh and winning smile. He will truly be missed by those who loved and knew him. On behalf of my son and I, we offer our condolences. Thank you for allowing McCray to warm our hearts.
God saw Him getting tired
A cure not meant to be
So He wrapped His arms around McCray
And whispered "come home to be with me"
May God Bless and keep you in this difficult hour.

We little knew that morning that God was going to call Mr McCray's name,
In life you all loved him dearly; in death you do the same.
It broke your hearts to lose him, but he did not go alone.
For part of you went with him, the day God called him home.
He left you peaceful memories, his love is still your guide,
And though you cannot see him, he is always at your side.
Your family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,
But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
The Mosby-Loving Family would like to extend our sincere condolences in the homegoing of Mr McCray. Please let us know if there is anything we may do you whether now or in the future.
With All Our Love,
Billy, Joyce, Tatyanna, Mekhi, KeTwan & Jay
