So sorry to hear about John Ray, we both worked at Springs for many years. He was such fun, we never knew what he was going to say.

This was sent to me when my father died.
Just a Memory Away by Rita S. Beer
I'm no longer by your side but there's no need to weep; I've left sweet recollections I'm hoping you will keep.
Eternal joy and memories stay in our hearts forever, strengthening our special bond that parting cannot sever.
Now it's time to journey on, so let your faith be strong, For I am in a better place ... I'm home where I belong.
And if times of loneliness bring sorrow and dismay, Don't despair, for I am there... JUST A MEMORY AWAY.
The members of the Bratton Family share in your loss. Ray was such a loving support to our neice and cousin Sara.
