Marcella and family, I was very sadden by the news of Ray's passing. I was very fond of Ray, and I have many happy memories of him and you, Marcella, and the children. As cousins, our lives took different paths, and we lost track of each other. However, Ray remained dear and near to my heart. I was amazed how much Ray looked like Uncle Alfred. He certainly had that same happy nature that Uncle Alfred did. Please accept my sincere condolences and know that my heart and prayers will be with you, not only on Saturday, but in the days ahead. With much love and care,Linda (Cole) CollinsKatie's Daughter
