Dear Trilby and family, A wonderful part of the family just moved on to a great place. I hope he is up there with my Dad, Tom, Gene, Ronald, George, Jo, Debbie and Grandma & Grandad Willis telling them great stories and catching up! They are due a family reunion!!!!
He is a great uncle and I remember him for so many things from the time I was very young until not so long ago. I know you will miss him, Trilby Ann, and I know you will find comfort in knowing he is in the arms of God - right where he was called to be! Sending you and your/our family love and hugs. Kaye

Trilby,
So sorry to hear of Ray's passing. We always enjoyed seeing both of you at the JHS reunions. Bill, Ray, and Marvin always thought of something from those days to talk about. May the comfort of family and friends and your faith in the Lord sustain you in the days to come.

Tribly & family-
I was saddened to hear the news about Ray. I remember ya'll coming to Texas in the motor home. I remember going to get ice cream with Mary & Marvin. But what I will miss most is his positive attitude for life. I haven't seen him since the last time I was in VA but I have corresponded via email. He is in a better place, but I will pray for you and your family for days to come. I wish I could be there but the next time I am in town I'll come by and say hello! Love you!

Trilby & Lynne,
I always enjoyed walking into GRBC Sunday mornings or after singing in the choir and walking to my seat and Ray would always hug me. He always had a smile on his face. I'm deeply saddend after hearing of his passing. He was a wonderful person and I am fortunate to have been able to know him and to have experienced his wonderful personality. My prayers and thoughts are with the both of you during this time.
