To Betty and kids, I am sorry not to be in Columbus for Ray's funeral. I am in Toledo visiting Michelle & grandbabies. You are so much in my thoughts and prayers and am sorry that I can't be there to give you each a big hug. I think of Ray as that solid foundation, a pillar of strength, kind & gentle and strong. May God bless you and keep you in this great loss. I love you all. Blessings, Kay

I met Ray Moses 30 some years ago as a good friend of his son Fred. I am not easily impressed with too many people and he was one of the few. I have never felt so welcome and impressed with what a caring and interesting human being he was. The world will be a much emptier place without him. Thank God for all the treasured memories

Betty and family,

Ray was a wonderful and loving man and he will be sorely missed. When I saw him at church he always had a smile and a hug. He was loved by many.

Ray was and is a wonderful, kind and gentle man. I never heard him say an unkind word, or raise his voice! The love he shared with his family especially his grandchildren was a joy to behold. Ray honored us by taking our wedding photo's along with his son and my brother in law Fred. Both Ray and Betty have never missed one of our daughter Rianna's birthday's or Christmas's. We always enjoyed getting together with Ray and Betty during holiday celebrations. He will be greatly missed on this earth but I know we will all see Ray again one day and he will be there to greet us with a warm smile and a friendly hug.

We love you Ray!

Shari, Robert and Rianna Ramey

Ray Moses was such a gentle and loving man. I met him at church and he was so kind to me the first day I entered the church. The more I got to know him the more I loved him. I will miss him so much. To Betty, his wife and his family, God will guide you through this.

Ray Moses is a unique blend of strength and gentleness combined in a such a way that makes everyone feel comfortable and loved in his presence. The kindness in his eyes and warm handshake were always encouraging and uplifting. As our family photographer, although unproclaimed, he has given the Moses and Young families a legacy of artwork sharing memories of so many wonderful years and events. Uncle Ray-we love you and will always keep you in our hearts.
