Dear Kathy and Family,
We are deeply saddened to hear about Ray's passing. We met Ray many, many years ago in Oakman when we picked up our first LeGard Doberman.
We had an enjoyable time with both of you.
May the Perpetual Light Of Our Lord Jesus Christ Shine Upon Ray For Eternity.
God Bless,
Mario & Linda Tristany, Jr.
