January 20, 2021 at 3:20 pmJudy and family, I was so sad to see Ray’s obituary in the paper on Sunday. I have thought of you so often since March… It must have been awful not to be together for all those months. I always enjoyed our talks and visits on Thursdays at The Anderson when I volunteered. Sending love, hugs, and prayers to a special family.
