Dear Annette and all the family, We are so very sorry about Raymond's death. Seems just yesterday that we saw and visited at Eye Centers in Bmt. We have known the entire family for many years, as neighbors, and as Connie's school mates. Raymond was such a delight and loved by everyone, as I am sure you very well know. Please accept our condolences. Mary Lowe Haynes, Connie Isbell, Mildred Read Graff, and George and Tom and Jane Read.

Dear Mathis Family;
We were so blessed to be able to call you devoted neighbors and dear friends for so many years. We will never have neighbors as good as Raymond and Lydia Mathis were to us. They were there for us any time, day or night, one phone call and Paw and Maw were on their way. We loved Paw and Maw and are so thankful that he is with Jesus and the love of his life, Lydia. RIP Paw, you made such a difference here on earth and will never be forgotten.
All our love and devotion,
Joe, Bambi, Shane and Shannon Chapman

I am so sorry for your loss. He was such a sweet man. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know though that he is with Mrs Mathis and smiling. His love for her was so apparent. He left a mark on those who knew him. He will be missed.
