Dear Gladys;

Read of your loss in the Times Union and want to tell you how sorry I am. Since I've been going through the loss of Sid, I know how you must be feeling right now.

No one can ever fill the void we feel when losing our partner... You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Ray was so very special to us all growing up.We loved the picnics & the overnights-when he made us creamed peas & put ketchup on our the eggs,gave us flat gingerale when we had a stomach ache, but most of all was the love we always felt when we were around him.Rest in peace now with Daddy for you will be forever in our hearts.

Mrs. Carhart and Family, I was sorry to hear about Ray passing. I remember the time a tree fell on my grandmother house. We didn't have to call, Ray came out with the Town truck, and cut the tree off the house. He was a true friend of my family. If there anything I can do, please let me know.
