Dearest Marie & family,
You remain in our thoughts and prayers as you continue walking through the valley of the shadow of death. Our God of All Comfort will help you as only He can.
Momma Faye and I both enjoyed talking with Ray. He had such a big, kind heart that always wanted to help others. If Ray said he’d help you with something, you could count on him to “…git ‘er dun…!”
I was blessed to watch Ray grow in his Christian life and blessed to call him my brother as well as my friend.
Loving, caring, praying,
JFB & IFB
