Richard, we are so sorry to learn of the loss of your brother Ray. While we didn’t know him personally, we have both lost siblings and parents.

Tiger and Judy Lane are gone now also and any way you look at it the loss of our loved ones hurts. May Our Lord grant you peace and strength during this stressful time in your life.

Jeff and Janey Richards

Tiger and Judy were my sister and brother-in-law
