Ray Bryan

Dear Santa Ray,
We know you are in a better place now because you have told the story of Jesus Christ to my two children as "THE SANTA". I want to thank you for spreading that wonderful story to children all around the world. You have touch so may children's lives as well as adults. I just want to say thank you for every bit of happiness you have brought to my children, myself, and many more. I only knew you as Santa but I can only imagine the wonderful husband, father and friend you...

Our family just found out about the death of Ray - we were so shocked and saddened. Our prayers go out to his wife and family.

Thanks to Mr. Bryan for the wonderful memories I will always have of my granddaughter's visits with Santa. Those visits were very special to her and to us, as we enjoyed seeing her with Santa. He was so kind to her and to us as her family. He will certainly be missed. He was a very special Santa. My prayers and thoughts are with the Bryan Family.

Ray you will be missed. I had breakfast each morning with Ray. He would ask me questions about the Bible. He called me Little Preacher and Rabbi. He was kind and considerate.He is now in heaven. He told me a few days ago that he was thinking of Jimmy and he started crying He said he knew something was going to happen and he didnt know what it was and he wanted me to pray for him I did Ray you will never be forgotten Love you Santa
