Raymond Jay Burt was born April 18, 1958 in Goshen, Indiana, but has resided in Pensacola, Florida for the past 48 years. Ray went home to be with the Lord on Sunday, October 11, 2009. Ray went peacefully surrounded by his loving family after a courageous battle with cancer. Ray was 51 years young with a natural ability as a skilled cabinet maker. Although he was a maintenance mechanic/ electrician by trade, his true love was building things out of wood. It brought him great pleasure to be able to share this skill with his Dad.

I felt so sad when I heard the news. I wish I could comfort you.
But I know to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD.

There is so little one can say, so little one can do. But you are not
alone, for others share your sorrow
too.

It must be heart wrenching to out live your son, Jim. My heart goes out to you and your family. I'm glad to know that Raymond is with the Lord in Heaven. He has been promoted! Raymond is not gone; he is just out of sight for now, until that day of the Great Reunion. May the Lord strengthen you and give you His peace that passes all understanding. Tom

I am so sorry for the loss of your son. He was so positive and so sweet.
We would talk over the phone about his insurance, and I would ask how he felt. He always was doing Great and never complained. I'm just sorry that I did not know him sooner. He is in a better place, and that is the blessing. God will guide you through the hard times, trust in him. If there is anything I can do, please contact me. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
