Sending condolences from my family to Ray and family, I wish I could be there but due to recent weather and the distance, I'm unable to be there to support like Ray has with me and my family here in NC on many occasions. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. May you be coveted in HIS arms on this day and beyond.
