Raymond was a good man and someone I looked up to.  He was always willing to help and give good advice.  I am so glad that Patty and I stopped to visit Ray in July 2011.  We had a very nice visit and it was so good talking with Ray and his family.

He still had that “Raymond Spark” that made him unique.  He advised me to take care of my diabetes and I assured him that I would.

I seem to remember in my younger days trying to find a way to startle or surprise him just so I could hear him holler and threaten me as I was running away to hide.  He was a lot of fun and I always enjoyed talking with him and Nancy.

It would be an understatement to say that Ray made a good impression on everyone he met. I don't think that he ever met a stranger or anyone that he was afraid to talk to like a friend.  He still had his self confidence and warm personality when Patty & I last visited with him.

I will certainly miss Ray. It feels like a big part of my family is missing even though I know he is in the arms of another part of our family.  I think that his spirit will always be with us when we get together in the future.  We will never forget the love he had for his family.

Stephanie & Family,

Our prayers are with you and the family. Treasure the memories & blessings. 

Raymond, Angie & Brittany Pace

I will never forget the many times our parents got Ray and all the cousins together as children.  Ray and Marilyn were great leaders for the pack. Times like now we find that we hold very dear memories.  When one life passes on to touch the face of God, those memories reach deeply into ones heart. It makes love flow out from your soul.  I don't know exactly how that works, but I can only thank God for his wisdom to put that comfort in us.  The emotion of an end to life as we know it turns us back to remember our beginnings and those people our parents taught us to love and with whom we shared our childhoods.  Ray was one of those people in my early life. I will never forget him.

Our dear Ray had a special twinkle in his eye that let you know you were loved.  We had so much fun together.  We will miss that love dearly and look forward to that heavenly reunion with him and all our loved ones.  Dear Nancy, Stephanie and Paul, just know we love you and are praying for you, the children and Aunt Luella. Remember the good times in your dreams.  Love Gail, Richard and Kelly

I look forward to seeing my cousin 
Ray again where none of us will feel any pain or sadness. I'm sure my mother is hugging him as I write. Dearest Nancy I pray your heart feels the compassion of the Lord and that your family feels the strength of the love we are all sending your way.  God bless and keep you. Love, Linda

We love you all. Thank you for all the heart-felt sympathy. We are hanging in there and send much love to you all.

Ray was loved and looked up to by those of us, his cousins, who were younger.  I can still hear his silly giggle when he got so tickled over some trick he'd played or something that had happened and he couldn't  but let the merriment out.
 We had loads of fun when we all got together, which wasn't as often as we all would have liked as we got older but we always made the most of it when we did see each other.
My sincerest condolences to the immediate family and I so wish I could wrap my arms around you and hug you just for a minute.  May peace, like a river, flow over you and dry your tears.
There were, I believe, 18 of us and several have changed residence from earth to their ‘forever' home with our God and our ancestors (and the party is still ongoing in heaven) .
We miss you and honor your memory and your generous gift to others through the transplant system.  
It's not goodbye my cousin but rather ‘see you later' so save us a place at the table.  You know how we love those family reunions and eating.
Jenna (Jenifer Mazelle Walker Parker) and family from Miami
