DR. RAY visited Williamsburg VA back in the early 90s at a church we attended. His anointed messages are still instrumental in my thinking now.

Harold.....You were my buddy in grade school and high school band. You on the clarinet and me on percussion. When I think of you, I remember you coming to my support when you thought I hadn't received the recognition that you thought I should have gotten. You were so kind to me and my mum, Elsie Edburg, in Joliet, Illinois. Bless you....
I always knew you were going to do great things. And you did.....
Your Sister in Christ...

My Heart Felt Condolences to the family
I've had the moment to hear him exhorting the people of God
On TBN And all though I never had a chance to meet Bishop Ray
Personally!!!! The moment I heard his voice and saw him
I immediately!!!! Felt Heart connection in the Spirit
So to me. Bishop helped me to know that God Sees the Best in me.

Oh, how my family is so blessed because of the seeds sown into my life by my spiritual parents. Not only has my life been changed, but the generations to come. We will miss him so much, but I know that God will fill the void. We are praying for Momma Brenda Ray, the Ray family, and all of those affected. We have been taught well, and OUR BISHOP lived the life that he taught. His voice has not gone silent, but it echoes throughout all the earth, in and through each of us. I'm sure he received his, "Well done good and faithful servant." May Jehovah God continue to bless each of you.
