Not sure what to say?

For some strange reason, I have been thinking about you today Uncle Royce. I have nothing but fond memories of you & Aunt Barb, 2 of the absolute best people that I have ever known. I know that you are both happily together again in God's heavenly garden. I love & miss you both. I will see you both again someday, may you both rest in peace.

I knew Pete from the Boy Scouts, troop 46, and high school, and our mothers knew other. Pete was a friend, always calm and collected--no matter the circumstances. I also knew his wife, Barbara, a good friend of my late wife after I returned from WWII and reentered Jackson Junior College. I just discovered the notice, but I would like to add my thoughts to his large family and many friends.

A laugh that began with a smile, then a twinkle in the eyes, progressing to a rolling of the shoulders and shaking of his whole upper torso. A gentle man who loved to sit contentedly and listen to the the stories around the Raymond table. Rarely the center stage - but always enjoying those who played it. You will be missed.

Our prayers are with the Raymond family.

Dear Pam,Steve,David and Sandra,
I am so glad you posted this, as I have wondered for years what had happened to your dad. Your family lived right next door to us on Crestwood Lane in Jackson for your young growing up years. I was the teenage girl next door that babysat for you all the time.
Your parents were two of the most wonderful people I have ever had the joy to know. I can imagine how your dad felt when your mom passed away. I don't think I have ever seen two people more in...

To The Raymond Family,
You are in my prayers during your time of bereavement. May the presence of God bring you comfort and the eternal memories in your heart bring you peace.

I had the honor and pleasure of knowing Mr. Raymond as his family doctor. What a congenial man! His smile was wide and warm, even if he didn't always hear what I said! I will miss the twinkle in his eyes.
