To the granddaughter of Dorothy & Ray,
We just learned of the passing of your dear grandmother last Sept. and
now, the passing of Ray last week. Ray was a lifelong school friend of my Dad's
and an "uncle" to us. My parents & us kids all loved Dorothy from the first time we
met her. We last visited them both in Largo April, 2013. Their eyes lit up when they would talk of you & your little boy! We are so sorry for your loss. Dorothy's quiet sweet spirit and Ray's infectious smile will be greatly missed.
I have left information with the funeral home and would really appreciate it if you would contact me.
Our deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Dale & Lorene (Fischer) Luther
