Dear Norma:
Always enjoyed Wray`s presence at Hunter`s Auto Sales. He was cheerful and a great guy to all of us `young bucks.` I am certain he will be sorely missed.

So sorry that I am unable to come to Wray's celebration of life today.I will be with you all in spirit. I have such memories of travelling in the truck with Wray as a teenager and enjoying his mischievous teasing. I can't think of him without smiling! And oh, to hear once more the phrase he spoke at every funeral "We've got to stop meeting like this."
The next meeting will be a special one.
My heart holds Cousin Norma and Jamie and Wayne and their families in love today. May precious memories bring peace.
