Hey Trey, You were a very giving and special man. Sorry to know that you are no longer with us. It was your presence in Rayer's that made being there positive and heartfelt.
I wish you comfort and peaceful rest.
Whenever I cook Neckbones and Potatos, I will always remember how you enjoyed mine.
Loved your smile.

R.I.P. Trey. Last year Trey and I talked about many childhood memories, including our silly uniforms to getting rides to school in the hearse. The wonderful Rayner family was always my 2nd family and the "girls" like my sisters. I would like to send out prayers for peace and comfort as the Father sees the family through. I also had a childhood "crush" on Trey. Good memories, indeed!
