Alicia,Gin,Peter,Stephen and Tommy,
I want to pass along my condolences to you all. Your mother was a great Lady in all ways. I know it has been a rough few years for your mother and you ,battleing health problems but she remained upbeat and happy. I am glad to hear that the Camp Ker-anna footrace went so well because it was an honoring of your father as well as your mother.One could not have done it without the other. I pray that you the family who have endured so much over the last few years with the health of your parents can find some comfort in knowing that they are finally at peace. Rest easy in the knowledge that your Mom is not alone. She joins your Dad and my Dad and all the Raymonds who have moved on to a better place in heaven. Quite a gathering I am sure.
I take comfort in knowing that Norm had a great life with his family and friends. He had it all and has done it all by his own admission. A full life he did have. I think we can say the same thing about your mother and father. I still think about the Reunion we had a couple of years ago and how we got to see everyone . For some it was the last time that we would see them. We were fortunate to have planned the outing when we did. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Remember the good times. Love you all,
Jim, JJ & Aaron Raymond
