    Rest on my brother Ray I will miss you. I am thankful for the time we shared together a month ago.

    His Peaceful Grave

    Our brother lives with us in memory
    Before our eyes he grew weaker every day
    Knowing how much we loved him
    Until God took him away
    Never shall his memory fade.

    Mary & The Daniels Family
