I am thinking of you all during this difficult, stressful time. I rented from Raynard for about 5 years. He was very good to me and I knew him as a kind-hearted man who wanted others to succeed and gave good, solid advice. I feel blessed to have known him and have always appreciated his kindness.

You are in my thoughts and prayers,
