Our deepest thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
Ray was a great man and an even better friend. Ray offered his wisdom and experiences he had learned from life to help me through times of trouble and despair. The world has lost a great man and even better friend to all.
Through years of working with Ray, I learned more than any classroom could have taught me and I will always remember that.
I know that sometime in the future I too will meet Ray again face to face at the gates of heaven. His earthly body is gone but Ray is still alive in all of his friends and family and in Heaven he awaits us all.
May he rest in peace.

We are so sorry for your loss. Ray was a kind soul and always willing to lend a helping hand. He will be missed. "Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" Proverbs 3:5

To You All, Mrs. Quarles how sad I am to hear of Raymonds passing. You and your family were always people I admired and always thought of as the years have passed. I spent alot of time as a nieghborhood kid just one door down and can even remember Mr.Quarles plantng you that beautiful silver maple tree in you front yard, and unfortunately many,many years later I even remember when he cut the beauty down. That tree was my guide post to home after school and always after school at 7:30p.m. you and Mr.Quarles would be enoying the shade the tree. Rosie was a little girl and Raymond was my age and we chatted always. My memories of all of you will be of the beauty and love in your family. My evening visits after school and Mr.Quarles sense of humor while we talked and Raymond tinkering on a car in the side yard will always be vivid in my mind. Mrs.Quarles you raised a wonderful family and to me it was just fitting that mommas girl would move to the home I lived in. The circle is unbroken and we will again some day enjoy the days of old and share the memories of our lives together under that beautiful silver maple in heaven above. My deepest heart felt love goes to each of you in this time of saddness. My love always, Bonnie Blackburn

I will fondly remember Raymond as being a friend who would always help you no matter what. We shared many laughs together with the "old gang" at Applebees back in the day. Rest in peace my friend.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say... but first of all, to let you know that I arrived okay. I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above. Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight. Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night. That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through, God picked me up and hugged me and He said, " I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone. As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on. I need you here badly; you're part of my plan. There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do. And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you. And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight. God and I are closest to you... in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears. But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain. Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all what God has planned. But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand. But one thing is certain, though my life on earth is over. I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rockey roads ahead of you and many hills to climb; but together we can do it by taking one day at a time. It was my philosophy and I'd like it for you too... that as you give into the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain, then you can say to God at night... "My day was not in vain." And now I am contented.... that my life has been worthwhile, knowing as I passed along the way, I made sombody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low, just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go. When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind; I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go... from that body to be free, remember you're not going....you're coming here to me.
