Dear Katherine and Ray Ray,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember Ray visiting us (Aunt Flo, Uncle Eddie and Eddie, Jr.) while he was on leave when he was in the Navy and you all visiting with us and having dinner with us in Morgan City. Ray was greatly loved by his Mother and our Grandmother, Melanie Gautreaux. May God Bless you and comfort you in your loss.
In Jesus,
Cousin Eddie Landry, Jr.

Ray and Mrs. Vidos, I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Vidos. He was a great guy and was always great to me. He never hesitated to teach me and Ray something when we were growing up. He will surely be missed....
