Hi June,

One can only rejoice when earth's measure has been met and limits won't matter anymore. After 64 years, a part of you has gone ahead to wait for your arrival. (Just don't get in a hurry!) :-)

You and Ray are two special people in my life. You gave me a key to your house to come and go for two years whether you were there or not. What wonderful times we had when you were home. Ray was a very interesting guy, and I loved hearing him tell of his work with the ships.

The tide recedes, but leaves bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, but echoes on its sweet refrains.
For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.

Love & Prayers,
Darrel & Arlene Anderson

Grandma June,

I am so sorry for the loss of your husband (best friend) of 64 years. We will never forget the time we spent in the summer of 2006. Katy, little Rylee and I will cherish the time we had with both you and Ray.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. (Romans 8:28)

With Love,
