Carl Ray

BRENDA I WAS SO SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR LOSS. JUST SAW THE NEWS IN THE PAPERS. SO,SO SORRY.

So sorry about your loss, Brenda. Just found out about it.

Thank you Lord for bringing this generous soul into my path of life. I will never forget our PLS days together. You are an inspiration to our community and the world is a better place because you were here. The Black Chamber of Commerce will dedicate ourselves to keeping your memory and community work going.

Thank you Carl Ray. You turned the great tragedy of your life from a source of personal grief into a metaphor for life and the power of forgiveness that touched so many lives. Along with the annual trips to historical Black colleges and lectures to high school students an indelible impression was created. I recall before one lecture to high school students I urged you to include your view on the "N" word. You said you did not use the word and discouraged its use. I also do not use that word...

this is Jackie smith i give my condolences to to late Carl Ray i also had the pleasanter hearing you speak at the Maranatha Christen Center 7th street San Jose,Ca we will miss you love and thank you for the positive word of encouragement.

Carl was a generous and caring person. Brightened many days with a visit to my office at Alum Rock School District.
