Went to high school with Raymond at Rummel and we hung out quite a bit Raymond was quite a character. Later on, many years after high school I was managing food service for a local hotel at night (Doubletree on the lake) and when I came in the first night for work there he was a waiter.Surprised me to see him we had lost contact after high school.

Do not underestimate the power of prayer in your time of need. God will help you to endure. We pray for your heart to heal soon.
