I am going to miss my cousin Raymond calling me everyday sometime twice a day just to find out what is going on here in Georgia. He loved to reminiscent about the places he grew up knowing and I am telling him those places no longer exist or before my time. He had a very contagious laugh. I know he is telling jokes in Heaven. R.I.P. my dear cousin, Raymond

Loretta I just heard about your husband Raymond. I am so sorry. May you find some comfort in knowing that Raymond is now in God's care. I realize that words will not less the sorrow that you feel right now but as the days go by may you find some comfort in remembering all the things that made him so very special, all the reasons why you, your sons Michael and Raymond loved him so much. Those precious moments remain to give peace long after the sorrow and pain is gone, for the heart...

My sincere condolences to the Shanks family. I am very sorry about your loss. Psalms 91:2 says, "...you are my refuge and my stronghold.." In times of sorrow please draw comfort and strength from the God of all comfort.

Raymond was a one of a kind guy who brought good laughter that caused lingering smiles on many faces due to his style of humor which he loved to share. I would always seek him out at family gatherings held at David and Edna's home where we would tell funny stories and engage each other in challenging dialogue about Black History. His insights into religion, history, and current events made interesting commentary producing difficult questions with no easy immediate answers. Black History Month...

Granddad you made me laugh with your stories. You made me feel loved with your words and time you took to be the best grandfather I could hope for. Will truly miss you. Love and sweet heavenly rest.
