To Cheryl and family of Raymond,
I just heard of your sorrowful news and want to express my condolences to you and Rays whole family. I met Ray last year, shortly after my own father passed away, and he was of great comfort to me in my own difficult time. I will remember fondly, his warm personality, sence of humor and stories of all that mattered to him...which was family. He talked frequently of how proud he was of his children, grandchildren and anyone else who would visit the cottage. He will be missed. Please know that Ray and his family are in my thoughts and prayers today.
