Jinnie and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Ray's passing. I have so many fond memories of growing up with our two families sharing so many friend parties, especially Fourth of July, church socials, etc. May the time, love, and memories you shared with Ray bring you comfort during these most difficult days and those to come. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
