My dear cousins I am so sorry. Your Mom and Dad were really cool people. I wished I had spent more time with them. They tried to get me to come to Texas and work back in the day. What a missed opportunity. My Mom and Dad had great visits with them. Love you all so much.
Sorry I could not be there, Ray and Linda were special life long friends. Cherish their memories.❤️
Ray was a special Brother-in-Law to me, more like a brother. I feel we had a very special relationship.. I pray that his family will be comforted with a special warmth that help wipe all tears. I especially am sorry that I am unable to travel and be with all the family. Lean on God for comfort. I am so very thankful to claim kinship to this family. Prayers for all. Love you all. Uncle BILL.
