Messages of Love

From family and friends

Carolyn Spoerl

I am still processing the fact that Ray is not here anymore. Remembering him bring smiles and tears at the same time . From the first time I laid eyes on him in San Diego at Raymond’s house, I knew you and he were to be together. He was a good man and I could see the happiness in his eyes being there with you. So, we have to let him go physically but we will see him again someday. Until that time comes, we lovingly remember him. God bless you and your family during this time in your life.
