To the family of Ray Burns Sr.
I will always remember the good times we had when were kids playing basketball, Ray was a competitor,
He worked HARD at everything he did.
he didn't make excuses, he would play basketball with 2 bad ankles,
just as long as we won... Ray you will Always be a WINNER in my heart!

To the Burns Family,
My heartfelt and deepest sympathies are extended to you. Ray was a business associate, however he made me feel like a friend. His love for his work, his family and God were clear. To say he will be missed is an understatement. May God bless you during this time. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning. God will be there every night to wipe your tears and guide you to the morning of His promise.
