Dear Cousin Marie, thinking about you and praying that your faith will sustain you; as you reflect on your love and devotion for each other; and all the many blessings bestowed upon you and Ray...your amazing children, loving grandchildren and great-grandchildren; and so much more. Dave and I remember Ray as an officer and gentlemen and proud to call him 'friend'. I'll never forget my first airplane round trip, Charleston, WV to Charleston, SC; and you and Ray took me to the officers' club, at the AFBase and Folley Beach. Dave enjoyed conversations with Ray, re his military career and hunting adventures. He will be missed. Marie and Family, God is merciful. He will guide & protect you now and all the days to follow.

Love, Dave and Monie
