I am so very sorry to hear of Raymond's passing. Ray was my 1st cousin. Actually, he was my Mom's cousin. They grew up together in Hilton. I never had the pleasure of meeting Ray as an adult but we did exchange letters. I am so glad I got to know him a bit through those letters! He was very kind and thoughtful in what he wrote. I will miss him and our letters.
My heart goes out to Ray's family. I know the loss you are experiencing is great. We lost my Dad this past February. All I can say is hold onto one another, remember him and all you shared and know he loved you all very much.
with love and prayers,
Tracey Mullen Krieg
