Dear Jacquie,
I was so sad to learn about your Dad's passing, and I will miss seeing you both on your front porch at cocktail hour, enjoying the eagles. What a beautiful life! My heart goes out to you during this difficult time.

Dear Jacquie,
In a small way, we share your sorrow and feelkings of loss. Ray was a cheerful guide who showed us the way to age with grace, dignity and humor. He will be missed not only by his Samish Island neighbors but by the greater Skagit-Samish community as well.

As someone so aptly put "we are sad he is gone - but we are so glad he was here". We will miss him but we have such fond memories to treasure

To Jacquie and family,

My sincerest condolences and heartfelt sympathies on the death of your Dad and my Uncle Ray.

I was so happy to have been able to see Ray just recently. We enjoyed a lovely chat and his handshake was as firm as ever.

How happy I was that all the family got together recently for a reunion last fall.

My prayers are with you during this difficult time.
