Aunt Sue & Darrell,
My heart is hurting this morning right along with you. Uncle Ray was/is one of the best and sweetest men I've ever known. Though it is hard to imagine the future without him, I know in my heart that he is in a much better place and he is visiting at this moment with PawPaw, MawMaw, PaPa & Mother and his other brothers and sisters gone ahead of him. He is definitely in good company. My thoughts and prayers are with you and if you need anything, you know where I am. Love to you Both! Janet
