Uncle Ray, I wish we could have seen each other once more. All I have are a couple of pictures and fond memories of you. I'll cherish them dearly, and they will remain with me throughout the rest of my life. A few of my greatest memories were as a child, I'd sit with you and watch you tinker with car parts. You'd try to explain to me what they were, and how they worked. You also taught me how to fish, and the process afterwards. We watched football as well. I asked you why the players wore tights. You'd laugh while trying to answer the question. You were always sweet tempered towards me. I loved being around you, I adored you. I never had a chance to tell you that, but it's never too late. Please shine down on us from time to time, to let us know you're thinking of us. As we will be thinking of you. You're greatly loved and missed. You always have been.

Although it's difficult today to see beyond the sorrow,
May looking back in memory help comfort you tomorrow.Linda Walter{Brian&Adam Heldreth

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.
