We could never have better neighbors than Ray and Angie. Seeing them go through his latest struggle made us think how strong love and compassion is through Angie. He will be deeply missed by us.
Dear Angie & Luke,
I cannot express how sorry I am to have received this news. My late husband, Bill, and I have known Ray for well over 40 years and as we always said if Ray was your friend you could not have a better one.
Always so thoughtful. He will be sorely missed by all.
Tommy and I send our most sincere regrets at this time.
My sincerest condolences,
The Bible offers hope and comfort during the most difficult of times. In it I have learned that soon we will receive those we miss so much because God will bring them back to life. I am confident of this because of what it says at Acts 24:15, “And I have hope toward God, which hope these men also look forward to, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”
To learn more about the resurrection hope I invite you all to jw. org
Once again, I am very sorry.
Beautiful service! Such a wonderful man, thaoughtful hardworking. Prayers for Angie, Luke, and the entire rest of the family. God Bless!
Sympathies and prayers for Ray’s family and friends. Regrets that I was unable to pay my respects today.
