Karen I just saw this mentioned about your dad on Facebook. I am so sorry and I feel your pain. You were the apple of your daddys eye. Im so sorry I couldnt be there.

Were so sorry for your loss. It was a blessing to know Mr. Ford. He was such a kind man. His smile and gentle spirit were so real. Thankful to have known him. May the Lord give you comfort during the days ahead.

KAREN, RONNIE, AND STEVE AND ALL YOUR FAMILIES PLEASE KNOW YOU ARE IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. WE SO MUCH ENJOYED THE TIMES BACK WHEN FORD WAS ABLE TO DRIVE BECAUSE WHEN IT GOT WARM WEATHER TOMMY WOULD GET A CALL FROM FORD ASKING HIM TO CHECK THE AC ON HIS VEHICLE.
WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THESE VISITS AND THE GOOD TIMES AT THE RAY REUNION. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU IN HIS CARE. LOVE TOMMY, TERESA AND KEVIN

Steve (Flipper), Ronnie and family, I remember your Dad at Chathams, he was always so nice and friendly to everyone. I always enjoyed talking with him. Our thoughts and prayers are with your families during this sad part of your life. I love you all and youve always been a special part of my life. Gods Peace

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Uncle Ford was like a second father to me while I was growing up. So many wonderful memories. Really enjoyed fishing with him, Dad, Uncle Sam, Uncle Parks, and all of us cousins. Love him and all of his family.

So so sorry for the loss of your father, Karen. May your grief be consoled through your good memories. Please know we are here if you need us.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. Love & Prayers, Mr. & Mrs. Gary Robbins & Family.
