Kasey, Mom and Ray, I am so sorry to hear of "Dads" passing. He is a great man. Throughout my childhood and teen years I couldn't have asked for a better man to be my 2nd father! Remember that even though it hurts to not have him psyically here now that he is in a better place and looking over you all as your angel. You all are in my prayers.

Heather, I am sorry to hear of the passing of Ray's dad. This got my attention as my maiden name was Hancock. You and I worked together at DTF years ago. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
