We will keep you in our prayers, very sorry to hear of Raymonds passing.

I knoa Mr. Whittaker was a very special Baba to Mary and I regret his passing for her and the family. It would take a very special man to earn the love and absolute trust of the precoscious and lovely Mary Morgan, losing those talented individuals is never easy. I don't believe they leave us until they know we are ready and strong enough with their spirit to continue the paths of our lives.
My condolences on your loss.

To Ray and Sarah, and all the Whitaker clan, we are so sorry for your loss. When you look up in the sky at a jet con-trail, or birds flying high - you might feel that he's there -in his element again, soaring, -just enjoying the view, the peace and freedom, and looking out for you! -- Love you, -- Gary and Bonnie Triplett

For the past 16 years, Mary Morgan has been the one friend closest to my soul, and in all that time I would be hard pressed to tell you how often she has spoken of her Baba. I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Whitaker face to face once, and he was a fine man. I know, at least a portion, of how important he has been to Mary, and how much she has always loved him. My heart breaks for you all, and I wish I could do more. You have my love and prayers. -Laura

Your family is in my prayers. So sorry for your loss.
