Bev and Ray were practically lifelong friends. They had so many memories together and shared at least one during every phone call, and the phone calls were almost daily. But their happiest conversations were sharing anecdotes about the grandchildren. Ray considers it divine intervention that he was able to be with Bev, Donna and Amy when God took Bev into eternal rest. Our hearts are broken at the loss of a dear friend but rejoice knowing we will all be together one day in the presence of God.

I can't remember not knowing him. Always enjoyed sharing stories about fishing or hunting. He was married to my wife's cousin and that made him family. He will be missed.
