  1. Aunt Arlene, Bobby, Wanda, Tim and families it has always been a privilege to have shared a small portion of Uncle Ray’s life. I would not be the man I am today, to have endured my life’s ups and downs, without his inspiration, caring and prayers. He was my connection to my father, I that I never knew. May we all live our lives, the way he taught us and expected us to live. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

  2. I had the privilege of spending a day with Raymond at the Richmond VA Hospital as we sat next to each other from 2:00 to 11:00 PM waiting to be seen on day about three years ago.
    It was a great pleasure to spend that time with one of America’s greatest treasures and listen to his stories about D-Day and becoming a missionary. I shared the joy of spending the day with Raymond with my wife and children who were also very excited to hear that I was in the presence of one of the greatest generation’s most humble and giving Soldiers. I wish your family every blessing from God and wanted to share my joy of meeting Raymond.

  3. Sending our love to Aunt Arlene and the entire family. Jenni,Billy and boys. Bobby and Sandy Mays
