Dear Donna, Words cannot express how I feel about your loss. Raymond was a great person and you will always have wonderful memories, I'm sure. I know I will. My thoughts are with you always. Love, Gloria

Donna, I'm so sorry to hear of Ray's passing, I know he will always be a ray of light that shines over the community gardens for all of us.

Dear Donna, There are no words to express, how sorry we are
in the loss of your dear husband Raymond, our thoughts and
prayers,our with you at this very difficult time.
