Not sure what to say?

Dorothy and family,
Ray has meant a great deal to us ever since we first met in 1971. What great times we had together "fixing" TV's and climbing those darn towers. The laughs the four of us had Saturday evenings after a hard day at work. This was our first year of marriage and Ross was only a few months old. Remember the visit from Santa, banging on the pipes, and good old Mr. Boston. Remember fondly those times at this time of grief. My son, Ross, who now lives in Wheaton, spotted...

Cathie,
May God grant Peace to you and your family.
I am sure your father was a grand gentleman.

Dear Bob and Family,

Sorry to hear about your Dad! I worked for him at the Lee grade school when I was a teenager. Later in life I became his neighbor. I could never forget that laugh of his, he was blessed with a wonderful sense of humor. May God bless you all during this trying time.

Sincerely, Randy Holle

I may be alot older now, but I'll always be his "sweetie"! I know Grandpa is in a better place now; he will be looking down on us and protecting us in our daily lives.

Heaven must be laughing, with Ray now gone Home. He'd make a fence post laugh. What a blessing that man was! And what a character. Miss Dorothy must have had to hold on to her hat every time he walked in the door. God bless and keep him and his wonderful family. We at Salem will miss him so.

Dearest Cathie,

Please know that I am a mere phone call away and how deeply I care for you!

To Ray's family and friends,

Please know that you are in my heart and thoughts during your time of sorrow. I am hopeful that the wonderful memories that you carry with you each day will eventually allow you to find comfort.

Cathie and family,
May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together. I enjoyed looking at the pictures in the photo album. How cute!

Cathie,
May God give you the strength you need. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
