Ray,
Julie and I just learned of the loss of your mother. She was a special friend to us. Of course, your mom and dad were quite close to my parents, Henry and Willie Frank Ford. For the last several years I have called her to chat every 2 or 3 months. When she didn't answer the last couple of calls, I did a search and found her obituary. Thank you for posting her pictures ... she was truly beautiful inside and out. I will miss our visits, but know she is now having a ball with my mother and Jesus.

Thank you for uploading all those pictures to the gallery Ray. I could hear her laughing as I looked through them. I so wish I had been able to make it to the services. I will miss her and never forget her graciousness, her kindness and her whole-body laugh. You, Alan, Raychel, Christine, Bianca and the rest of the family are in my thoughts and prayers today. With love, Cherie
