Dear Aunt Honey, Raymond, Kathy and their families,
We are sorry to hear of Uncle Ray's passing. We have many good memories of him during the years; picnics, birthday and Christmas parties. One special memory for me (with my Dad) was the day we toured Evanston, Wyoming; with Uncle Ray, Raymond, Jody, Seth and Kelly. I hope remembering all the good memories you have with him will help you at this time.
Love to all,
Gene, Bob, Bobbi and Kerry
