Aunt Rose Ann,
Johnny and I are praying for you as we know this is a time of great heartache. Even when we know we are going to lose a loved one it is never easy no matter how sick they were or how old one is. Please know that we are here for you if there is anything we can do we will. Uncle Ray was a wonderful man and will never be forgotten and I know we will soon see him again because I believe he is at home with the Lord. Although we didn't get to see the two of you often we still loved you both so very much and always will. Sending up prayers for you, Rusty & Mandy and all the grandchildren as I know they will all miss him. Thank God for the hope we have in Him. Much Love, Johnny & Rhonda
