Mary, Frank and Danny--I am so very sorry for your loss. Ray was a wonderful guy with a big heart. I always remember him similing, and that is how I will remember him. I still have such nice memories of all of us at your wedding at my parents house so many years ago. I am sorry that we cannot get back to KC for Ray's services, but please know that you are in our prayers. May God bless you today, tomorrow and always.
