We were so blessed to have you in our lives, and we know you that you know how much you mean to us.
We enjoyed every moment we had with you and we will forever cherish them.
You are a inspiration for Brian and he am is so proud to follow in your footsteps and grow to be a sucessful carpenter. Daily as he works he thinks of you.
Thank you for being there for us in good times and bad times and helping us through our problems. I am so happy you were here to see the great man Brian has become, and that you had the time to become very close, he will forever cherish those memories along with the ones as a child.
Hailey prays for you every night at dinner time she thanks God for our food and asks for him to make you better. We are so glad you got the chance to see baby Brian, and we are sad you won't be here to see him grow but we know you are watching over all of us.
You are truly missed and we will take good care of our kids and each other and Sis and Rick, Tina and the rest of the family.

Dear Sandy, Edna, and all of Ray's children/family,
I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I enjoyed seeing Ray after many years, and meeting Sandy, in Wilmington last October during happier times. I don't think Ray ever met a stranger. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him. My thoughts are with you all.

He is free of pain and walking with those of you who have gone before him. He is probably sitting at a table playing cards or gambling right now. Our memories will always keep him in our hearts. Please know that you can lean on me, for that is what friends do. Rest in peace my friend. You will be missed.
