Not sure what to say?

Dear G'pa;
I am gonna miss hearing your voice and how you say my name. Especially how you say "chihuahua"-I'm taking good care of my little chihuahua pack-don't worry! Rafael will miss your talks together as well. I love you . . . Your granddaughter, Maria Linda Kalvin-Medina

G'ma, don't forget we are only 2 hours away. I know it may seem that it is too much to bear . . . ask for strength and courage . . . God will not abandon you. Remember we are all sharing in this grief...

Dear Vi and Velma,

I am sorry to hear of the loss of your father. My thoughts and prayers are with you both and your family.

Dearest Vel and Roger......

Soo sorry to learn of your loss. Donna sent me an email, for I do not hear much from home now-a-days.

I barely remember Ray...but I do recall his great sense of humor....and the way he guarded his girls !!!

I hope GOD'S LOVE AND BLESSING CAN TIDE YOU OVER AND THRU THIS TRYING TIME........and know that he is now in heaven, with his LORD and SAVIOR

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR MOM...and please pass along my condolences to VI,...

Dear Ofie, I just read this on MLIVE today and realize the service was this morning! I have thought about you both for so many years, and until I saw the photo I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen either of you since my parents died. Ray never changed a bit from my memories! Your friendship with my mom and dad really was the best for them both and they spoke so greatly about you as us kids grew up. Even though I lost contact with you when I moved to Reno NV and came back, I think of you...

Dear Ofie and family,
I am so glad to have known dear Ray even tho we only got to see him a few times when you all came to Fl to visit Laura, we fell so in love with him. He will be sorely missed. Such a sweet man. We are blessed to have known him. Our thoughts, prayers and condolences are with you and family. We love you, Ralph, Sandy, Reid, Tessa and Raleigh Marchbank

My uncle Ray I don't know even where to begin. His smile when I came running through that heavy door and he would shout Paul James and laugh. Boy did he like color I loved his suits and his taste for his heritage. My dad and my uncle are together now with other loved ones and I am honored to carry on the Longoria name here in Texas.
A legacy of laughter and fun left behind for sure I'll always remember his life and laughter and of course his love for Chicka Kita and Whimpy.....

MY BROTHER AND I WORKED WITH RAY FOR MANY YEARS AT THE DAIRY.HE WAS A GOOD FRIEND,A GOOD WORKER AND ALWAYS THAT ENGAGING SMILE OF HIS. MY THOUGHTS ARE WITH YOUR FAMILY DURING THIS TIME.

Dear Vel and Roger
I am so sorry for your loss. Vel your father was such a sweetheart the few times I got to speak with him at Deweys shop..I will keep you both in my thoughts and prayers. Remember to take time everyday to remind your mom of all your love and memories of you dad.

Tammy Ensing
