My mother ( Frances Dean ) and I knew Gretta and Ray from their summer time visits to First Baptist Church on Maple St., Glens Falls. He was often a fill in pastor. Gretta and my mother always had a conversation after Sunday church services and both would have a big hug for her, too.. What warm and caring people they were and are. May you rest in His arms now, Greta, and may God comfort you, Ray. Judith Dean Edmunds. Florida.
