Ray E. Staples Sr.

I´m so sorry to hear about your loss of your Father. I really liked your Dad and Mom, they always made me feel so welcome to your family activities. I am thinking of you all and you are in my prayers. I hope you can find comfort knowing your parents are reunited in heaven. My deepest condolences.

Uncle Ray, some of my earliest childhood memories are of you at our family reunions, roasting the corn. You would always help me dip mine in the butter, holding the ear and my tiny hand at the same time. With the biggest, brightest smile you would release it to me, saying "here ya go, kiddo" and that was the best tasting corn I've ever eaten. So kind and happy, I would always enjoy our conversations as I grew up and looked forward to our little visits. Thank you for showing me nothing but unconditional love, your presence will be greatly missed!
