Bila, Ray L.

Dearest Mom,

Ray and I want you to know how very much we loved Dad and what great memories we have of Christmas and all the wonderful times hunting and just visiting. Especially the little jokes he use to play on all of us.

We will miss him as we are sure you will greatly. He is suffering no more and is in the arms of Jesus now.

We love you very much Mom, if we can do anything we are only a phone call away.

God Bless you and give you strength during this difficult time.

Ray and Mo

Aunt Virginia--

I wanted to let you know how sorry we were to hear about Uncle Raymond's passing. I still have fond memories of the trip that Grandma and I took about twelve years ago to visit the two of you and what a great time we had on that trip. Uncle Ray served us the best elk burgers--it was the first time that I had ever had elk--and I loved it! It was also my first and only time that I had been to Yellowstone. That trip was very special to me.

You are in our thoughts.

Sonya, Jon and Savana Brakeman

We Love you Grandpa, Have fun Hunting and Fishing!
