I am so sorry for your loss. I just found out Barbara and was very sad. My heart hurts for you and your family. Ray was a very sweet person and the both of you were always great together. Ray and my family are no doubt having a blast together! He was always so kind to all of us. Hugs and kisses to all. God Bless.

Barbara, I am just reading this and said to myself, I know this man from somewhere. Then I remembered he was a customer at Arizona Lighting where I was working for my brother Raul. Then I see you were his wife and the puzzle came together. Raul says he was the best!. Used to bring pigs in the blanket, lemon bars from crane school cafeteria. The nicest guy. So sorry for your loss. Hugs from a former Somertonite.
