Uncle Ray was always a friendly and very intelligent man. I haven't seen him for some time but know that he loved his family and grandchildren dearly. It's a great loss here on earth that he is gone but heaven has gained a wonderful soul. May God give his loved ones peace and comfort and the strength to get through their grief.



Love and hugs,

Marta
