Dear Mae and family,,
I am sorry I can’t attend the services today as I lost a dear friend in Colorado Springs and had told the family I would be there. His services are at the same time as Ray’s.
I remember so vividly how Ray would phone every day to the Family History Center to see if you made it there without car trouble. I can’t remember of him missing one day of calling to check on your arrival.
He will be missed by many friends.
My prayers are with you and your family. Mary Scarcello

You and your family are fondly remembered. I remember your mother and father well, as they lived just off 11th Street.
