Memories and Condolences
for OLIVER BRAY
August 22, 2015
Amy & family, I'm heartbroken to hear about Oliver's passing. He was such a loving and caring husband, father, son, brother, and friend. So many memories of happy times working at ARCO, and of the 4 of us together dating, planning our weddings, sharing news about our kids, and life in general. You have my deepest sympathy and will be in my prayers during the coming months ahead. My parents are also thinking of you and praying for the whole family.
I'm sorry illness kept me away from today's service. I will be in touch personally soon. If you need anything, you know how to reach me.
With sympathy and love, Sue Filiatreault

Sorrowful time for the Bray family. We remember Oliver as a young man in the youth group and high school with my daughters. He was well liked and will be missed.
