Dear Betty and Family, I am so sorry to hear of the death of Edgar Ray. I remember him (and Betty) who were in my elementary school classes at Hatcher. God be with you during your time of grief.

Regina just wanted you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. It's never easy to give someone up, but be happy with the time you did have. This is the time our memories become treasures.

I am saddened to hear about Ed's passing. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. I have great memories of the family growing up as a friend of Regina's. Always enjoyed talking to both Ed and Peggy and considered them a 2nd group of parents when Regina and I hung out. I'll never forget how Ed was always changing my name around until he came up with one that stuck...Tabitha. Always put a smile on my face. Ed's loss is a loss here on earth and in the hearts of family and friends, but is a definite gain in Heaven. God Bless You All!
