I never had the chance to meet much of this side of the family but I was told by my Aunt that Ray was my Mom's cousin. Her name was Frances and she was Luella's middle child. Sorry we haven't had the opportunity to get to know one another, we have lived out West in BC for several years. Just wanted to send our condolences to I guess would be my cousin Ray's family. Our thoughts are with you. Sorry for your loss. Maybe some day we'll get to meet. You are welcome to email me if you want to keep in touch. This message will have my email address. Again our condolences to all of the family. Margie, Jeff and Family in BC
