I have very fond memories of Ray Rapp, and through the years became friends. We drove together to Wesleyan conferences in San Diego, and shared many stories. He faithfully came to Christian Movie night/Pot luck/Bible study, his smile always brought sunshine to our lives. Carrie.

One year already? How quickly time passes, yet how slow grief is to lesson. I love you Dad, and miss you everyday.
