Dana/Billy/Debra-
We are so sorry to hear of your tragic loss. Our prayers go out to you all at this time.

Dana-no matter how hard it gets-always remember the great times you had together with your Dad. That's what I do. My father has been gone for 9 years and I still think-what would Ray do in this situation when I am at a loss. It helps give me focus and clarity. My father was a great guy as I sure yours was too.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life’s routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.
You are heavily in my thoughts and prayers. I am disappointed that I could not attend today (Sunday), I really wish I could.
Love,
Keith and Susan Johnson
