Not sure what to say?

Dear Trilby and family, A wonderful part of the family just moved on to a great place. I hope he is up there with my Dad, Tom, Gene, Ronald, George, Jo, Debbie and Grandma & Grandad Willis telling them great stories and catching up! They are due a family reunion!!!!

He is a great uncle and I remember him for so many things from the time I was very young until not so long ago. I know you will miss him, Trilby Ann, and I know you will find comfort in knowing he is in the arms of God -...

Trilby,
So sorry to hear of Ray's passing. We always enjoyed seeing both of you at the JHS reunions. Bill, Ray, and Marvin always thought of something from those days to talk about. May the comfort of family and friends and your faith in the Lord sustain you in the days to come.

Ray left us with a great remembrance of his special smile --

Best wishes in this time --

Norma and Mike Williams

Triby & Family My thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

Tribly & family-
I was saddened to hear the news about Ray. I remember ya'll coming to Texas in the motor home. I remember going to get ice cream with Mary & Marvin. But what I will miss most is his positive attitude for life. I haven't seen him since the last time I was in VA but I have corresponded via email. He is in a better place, but I will pray for you and your family for days to come. I wish I could be there but the next time I am in town I'll come by and say hello! Love you!

We have fond memories of Ray and Trilby and Mary and Marvin stopping in Texas to visit on their trip across country many years ago-We know he is in God's presence now but will be praying for your loss and that the service tomorrow will be a celebration of his wonderful life.He will be missed by many.

Dear Trilby and Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Uncle Ray was a special person, and we always enjoyed our visits and being with him through all these years. Ray was a strong, capable, and dependable person, and we appreciate all he did for our family. We will miss him.
With love,
Trilbie, John and family

Ray and I were roomates at times on the GRBC golf trip,and played many rounds of golf together,at Myrtle Beach. He was a true gentleman and loved his Lord. We will miss him.

Dear Trilby and Family,

Just know that I care'.
The best part of his death is we know we will be with Ray soon, His suffering is now over
Love to you all,
