What a wonderful tribute. Ray sounds like the kind of guy everyone would want to have as a friend. No doubt he will be missed by all. I pray for peace for all of you during this time. †
Ray, I did not have the incredible blessing of knowing you personally; but you’re beautiful wife has talked so much of her best friend and husband that she had in you for over 40 years. She’s told me what an incredible husband and father you were, and your “never quit” attitude. I’ve been blessed to know OF you and look forward to meeting you one day in heaven! My prayers and condolences are with you Vanessa; as well as your family grieving during this difficult time. Glory be to God!
My condolences to the family. May God bless and keep the family during this trying times
My heart aches to hear of Ray’s passing. Vanessa’s stories described a man who was loved dearly and brought great joy to his family. I wish your family peace through this difficult time.
I remember the time Vanessa and Ray came to help with my brother so I could go out. My brother enjoyed Ray’s visit so much. Ray helped my brother feel comfortable and that was hard because my brother had a stroke and couldn’t communicate well. But Ray and Vanessa made my brother feel comfortable and happy. I am so blessed to have such good friends. Ray is now in heaven and he and my brother are having a good time. Ray was a sweet human being and that he cared so much for making my brother feel comfortable shows the love he gave to others. God bless Ray and his entire family. May they feel the comfort that the Lord provides. Thank you Ray and Vanessa for helping my brother feel normal.
Thanks Ray… hope you are smiling in heaven
We send our love and condolences to Mother Vanessa and her family.You all are in our prayers.
