Karen, Pam, and Monte,
We were so lucky to meet Ray. He was always along Karen side through the master gardener program and the Successful Gardening program. He was such an upbeat jovial man. I admired him, and enjoyed that contagious smile. He will be remembered to me as a caring, fun, funny, supportive, and happy man. You were all so lucky to have him in your lives. Thanks for sharing him with all of us. He will be so missed! The memorial service was so touching and I felt like I even got to know him better through it. Wonderful knwoing you both! Look forward to the joys in Heaven
Love, Danielle & Andy
