May God comfort you and family. Ray was a wonderful person, I went to school with him all 12 grades. I know you have wonderful memories with him that will comfort you until you meet again.

Glenda, my brother Jack emailed me about Ray's passing and we were so saddened to hear the news. Glad I got to talk to you a few days ago and cannot believe that you and Ray have been married 59 years. We are praying for you and your family during this difficult time. We are reminded of the scripture, "We grieve but not as those who have no hope." Love, Berl & Verna Pedigo
