To Ray-Ray's family and very close friends, which would just about cover a large portion of LaSalle, I pray that you will look to our Savior for strength and guidance during such a trivial and sad time and know that he touched so many lives and classmates and in some special way has brought a closer relationship for some of kids with God, Heaven and Angels. God Bless

Ray Ray, you will be greatly missed but never forgotten. And even
though you are our guardian angel up above, you will always and forever remain the little angel in our hearts down here on this earth. Maria, I'm rendered speechless right now at the thought of this but I always have plenty of words to say at night when I'm on my knees praying for you and your family in this time of sorrow. May the love and support of family and friends carry you through and may your heart soon be filled with wonderful memories and joyful times. I'm here if you need me. Nee Nee

No one can tell you not to grieve or be angry, mad or sad, confused or even lost at this point. But God is a comforter in your time of trouble. Lean on him for he said in Matthews 28:20 I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Cry out to God he will help you with this burden.

Maria,
I can only imagine how difficult this time is for you and your family and I pray that the Lord brings you peace and understanding. No words can comfort you at this time, but I hope knowing how much his friends, their parents and your community reach out to you in prayer, will give you an idea of how much we care. Donte and I will miss your son very much. God bless you and your family.
