My prayers and condolences to Aunt Letha, Debby and family. I will always remember Uncle Ray's laugh, his zest for life, and love of people. He was one of few people that truly knew his calling for his time here on earth. He was a good man with a kind soul and I will always cherish my memories of him and all the time my sister and I spent with him when we were young. You will truly be missed.
