So sorry to hear of Ray’s passing. I remember your family well when my dad, Emmett Larson, used to work with Ray at CFCA. They always seemed to get along pretty well and sometimes my dad could be stubborn!! I hope you will be surrounded by comfort of loved ones and unexpected blessings will come your way in the future.
