Dear Jeanine,



I am deeply saddened by learning of this great loss. Having spent so much time playing with Ray and Ron as children they are always in my thoughts. I even tell my Boy Scout Troop campfire stories about me and Ray (Weirdo) and Ron (Mean).



Ray was a devoted husband, father and friend and we are all diminished by his loss. As long as we remember all of the love that he has given us he has not left us at all. My thought and prayers are with you and your family.



Kind Regards,



John Salemi

Jeanine I have been praying for you and your husband even after leaving the postulancy at the LSP. You are such a wonderful person and you will make it through this. Jesus does not give us more than we can handle. I heard of your husbands death and so I wanted to let you know I am praying for you further.

May God Bless you and keep you safe and keep smiling.

"Sing to him yea sing praises to him relate all his wonderous works." psalm 104:2

Your husband was a wonderful work of the Lord and the Lord has taken him to heaven where he can continue his work by pulling you up to heaven as well.

Smile cause God loves you!
