Not sure what to say?

Mrs. Ray, Millicent, Anne and Bill:
I learned of Mr. Ray's death in the FUMC Midweek and remembered all the behind-the-scenes work he did to allow the Youth Group to enjoy Florida trips, Easter sunrise servies, and so much more. I rejoice in his life and send my love to you all.

Virginia & Family,
We extend our deepest sympathy to you all. W.R. was a true friend to my father (Clarence L. Dennis) Dad always said that "W.R. was a good man" and in his mind, that statement encompassed every aspect of life.
I am so sorry I don't have the book of "Dad's Sayings" finished, so W.R. could have enjoyed reading it.
Especially since you and he were the ones who suggested that I put them in print.
I know everyone who knew W.R. will feel a great loss, as will...

We were very sad to learn of W R passing. My mom and dad before they too pasted away loved W R and Virginia as much as any family member we have. My Dad and Mom were C L and Ersley Dennis Waterloo, Alabama.

Virginia and Family:
The Lord bless each of you at this time of sorrow. Bill was a such a gentleman and he has left a legacy in his children and his community.

W.R.was one of the finest men i have ever known. He WAS WARM, FRIENDLY AND AS HONEST AS THE DAY WAS LONG.He and Virginia raised an outstanding family that any citizen of the world would be proud of. I and my children M.J. AND KATE WILL MORN HIN AND CHERISH HIM IN OUR HEARTS FOR EVER. WHAT A PERFECT ROLE MODEL FOR A YOUNG MAN.Iwish i could have been more like him. COMPETTENCY WITH GRACE AN CHARACTER . A TRUE GENTLEMAN
