To Raymond's Family:
I am so sorry for your loss. May the love of God, and the strength of your family and friends comfort you through your sadness and grief.
In His Love,

Hi everyone
I want to thank you all for the kindness you showed me while I was there to help your dad. He was a magnificent and loving man and I feel honored to have met you all. I wish I had more time with him but I do feel as though I came away a little piece of each of you. I hope you all will stay close and enjoy the love that keeps families together. I'll be thinking of you.

Raynelle,
I pray that the Lord will give you the peace that only He can give as you make these final arrangements. I didn't know you dad, but by the notes in the guest book, he must have been quite special. What a silly thing to say, with a daughter like you I should have known that. Hang in there girl.

Raynelle - you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. How blessed your daddy was to be surround by love as he took his last breath. He suffers no more and will now be there to call upon as your guardian angel.

I'd like the...

RIP RAYMOND. I'm so happy the Battlefields of Life was written so my brother Harry could meet his brother Garland. My deepest sympathies to Garland and family.

I cannot explain the joy that I have gotten out of my friendship with Ray. I was blessed to be asked by Ray to help with the writing of his book, and it was a life changing experience that opened my eyes to the plight of veterans everywhere. I became a better person through what I learned from working on his book, and what I learned through talking with him. He gave me great advice and always made sure I knew how much our friendship meant to him. One of my grandfathers passed away before I...

May God continue to Bless you and your family. I am so very fortunate to have received a copy of Mr. Yeatts', "Battlefield of Life", thank you Raynelle!

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
