pam and bill our hearts go out to you as uncle ray has now gone home. I told mom and dad and they send there love and prayers. time keeps on taking its toll. I remember the last time I saw uncle ray I struck by how much he looked like grandpa. I pray that Christ Jesus just wraps his arms around you and gives you the peace that only he can give. God bless. stephen and georgia
