Ray Bisdee Balfe

I prayed with Ray on Monday afer mowing her lawns. She was a dear friend now in God's arms.

Our condolences to the family of Ray, Les Gabriel's (TX537) childhood sweetheart and first wife. She remained dear to Les' heart and was highly respected within the Gabriel family. As part of her varied life, Ray perpetuated her legendary father's passion with yachting and was a very competent TS16 owner for many years. Although she didn't have any children, she was "Mum" to many at Friends' School boarding in the 1950's and 1960's. RIP.

BALFE, (Gabriel) Ray. - A gentle, caring person, who was a wonderful mentor. A great loss to so many whose lives she touched. Always remembered with affec tion by Elaine Sale.
