Aunt Linda, Matt and Family,
We are thinking of you all and praying that you will find some peace and comfort as time passes. I will remember Uncle Raydon's smile but most of all I will remember his voice and how much I loved to hear him sing. R.I.P. Uncle Raydon, I know your family and baby sister are really going to miss you.....
Linda, I am so sorry to read of the loss of your husband. Words are inadequate at a time of loss but may God be with you and your family and guide you and shelter you with his love.
Linda,Matt, and family,
We are so sorry for your loss and sorry that we are unable to be with you during this difficult time. There is not a sweeter time for a child of God than when you get to take that flight to Heaven. Raydon is now free from this world and all the pain and suffering he endured. He was a strong man that stayed the course and finished the race. We love you all and will see you soon.
When you meet Raydon for the first time it was like you knew him all your life.
