It has been a year Lesley, I hope you have had time to sit and remember the good times with your parents. I loved your mother dearly, and I did not know Ray as well, but he always treated me kindly. Mr. Devey has been gone 6 years and I miss him every day. Maybe he and your mom are having some good laughs. Take care, and know you are loved.

Mr. Raymond Holland was owner of the Hamilton Plaza - Allentown, PA. I had the privilege to work for him for several years as manager of the Dining Room. I began as wait-staff in 1987 and became manager until 1992. It was a wonderful memory in my life. After the closing of the Hamilton Plaza, 1992, Mr. Holland employed me as a hairstylist in his Levittown, PA salon were I began my career as a Stylist. I continued there for several years until I opened my own business. Mr. Holland was an inspiring part of my life and I appreciate knowing him. May God be gracious to his family and bless them with peace.

I knew Ray Holland when his daughter Lesley went to Moravian Academy. He was always kind to me, and had a beautiful smile. He was generous in giving to the school.I went this past year to the Memorial Service for Thelma, a beautiful tribute to her. My thoughts go t Lesley and her daughter , both parents are gone and I offer God's Blessings on both and you and the rest of your family.
