To all the family. I know the loss that you must be feeling. Ray and Gretchen were such gentle people and I know that Gretchen is missed and Ray will be missed greatly as well.
I’m sorry, I will not be able to attend the funeral due to circumstances of health and otherwise. I remember them both fondly from First Southern. I will always remember the love that we shared thru Christ and our loss is heaven’s gain!

The Melton Family
I went to school with Missy, and walked many a mile to meet up with her half way between her house and mine in the summers. She was one of my best friends throughout school so when I needed daycare for my son’s, I couldn’t think of a better choice than Ray and Gretchen. He was a gentle sole, and I would often find him down on the floor playing with trucks and cars with the boys when I picked them up. Godspeed Ray, your kindness and patience were comforting.
