Dear Ray,

I miss you and Donna so much.  Donna left us on March 25, 2020.  Our loss, your gain, but know you are happy praising Jesus in your heavenly home.  Family Reunion was not the same this year without her.  She was at every one since we started our week long family reunions in 2004.

I love you always,
Ruth

My mother was a cousin to Annabelle Kellogg Heitchler. I have a birth announcement for Charles Raymond Heitchler that was in Mom's scrapbook. 
It would please me to send it to someone in his family.

My condolences upon your loss.

"Our Fondest Memory" by Ruth Zeigler and Donna Mitchell, sisters 

Growing up, Ray was the oldest and only boy.  He used to pick, pick, pick on his sisters and if we tried to "get even" we would get it back 3-fold, and it would hurt!  The only way we could get even with him was when every other weekend we would visit our father and step-mother.  Donna and I would then pick on Ray, knowing that we would get it back, only harder.  We would then run to our step-mother to squeal on him.  She would make us kiss and make up.  Oh, how Ray hated kissing his sisters!  We didn't like kissing him any more, but it was worth it to get even with him.  That changed years later when he didn't mind kissing his sister's good-by.

We love you, Ray, and miss you deeply.
Until we meet again,
Ruth and Donna

Dear Uncle Ray,
It was so much fun being with you at the family reunion last summer.  We worked our way out of an escape room, toured an  emergency service 911 dispatch center, and had that wonderful dinner with boiled seafood from one end of the table to the other.  Thank you for our time together.  You gave us good memories that will last forever.
Love Tim

We loved you  and will miss you a lot.  So glad we were able to see you last summer, even though for just a day,  when you came with Ruth and Donna.   Know you are healthy and happy again in your heavenly home with your loved ones beside you. 

Dear Ray,

I enjoyed having you at my house when you came back to Ohio to attend the Sandusky High School All Classes Reunion.

Love you always,
Sister Donna

Ray,

I am so thankful you were able to make it last year to our family reunion and we could all be together once again.  Now you are in the arms of Jesus and with your dearly beloved wife Helen.

I love you,
Ruth

Uncle Ray, 
Thank you for the great memories when Emily and I stopped in for a visit with you and Aunt Helen. We enjoyed our time with you so much. Now, you and the love of your life Aunt Helen are together once again.

God Bless
