Blessed may be Connie Ray Shrader. He was protector, provider & partner to Penny. He was a father, kind and generous, to Chalence Timber, and our family thrived and flourished in the beautiful garden he provided. He was artist, inventor, musician and friend to many. A man of the new age, he was always looking for new ways to do things. He sculpted huge wood figures, painted large mural-like pictures, invented a miniature battery clock, sold Dali paintings and created a Venice chocolate candy. Because he was a good man of the new age, we can only think there is no death but entrance to a fuller life and freedom in heaven that we can only imagine.
O Thou Who givest sustenance to the Universe,
From Whom all things proceed,
To Whom all things return.
Unveil to us the face of the true spiritual sun
Hidden by a disk of golden light.
That we may know the truth and do our whole duty
As we journey to Thy sacred feet.
