Marylynn , Kelly and Family, Reta and I are thinking of you all during this very heartbreaking time. I have many of fond memories that included Rayborn but one that floated to the top this morning was when Rayborn and Guy were building Mom and Dads house. They got thirsty and Rayborn threw me his keys and asked that I fetch them some water. I was 11 or 12 and was ecstatic that he trusted me with his truck.

Rayborn was one of the people that was a part of the bird's nest at MVE! What is the birds nest you ask It was a group of parents that watched me and my kids play ball in high school! He even came to softbal games, to watch Marilyn Sue and Kelly play! He was a little younger then, so he was a little more vocal then, but he made sure that we made the right play! Thank Rayborn for all the memories!
