I have known Ray for 9 years, although we never physically met, but we spent a great deal of time making hospital staff wishing we would get better and go home! He and Rose were always thoughtful people and I will miss him. Gloria in altissimis Deo et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis—Luke 2,14 Requiescat in pace my friend.
We are sad at the news of Ray’s passing but also know he is not suffering and is with God. He was such a good person, a good testimony to all. We all loved him. He will be missed
Rose , Our hearts are broken for you and for the sorrow you are feeling . We did not know Ray for long but what we did know of him , was that he was a God loving man . We could hear him singing and praising God every Sunday . Know that Ray is now at peace and is no longer suffering , but that he is rejoicing with God . Ray was well loved and will be missed .
Is only 5 years since i met Raymond and it was a great plesure and i love the way that he praise the Lord. He was in love with the Lord and now he is in his presence .
Dear Rose The Lord is with you at this time of sorrow. psalms 121
When I knew Raymond, he was called Bobby. But this was back in junior and high school. He was a kind boy, and I always wondered what had happened to him. His story life seems a good one, from this obituary, in going from the military into the police force. Good for him. My condolences to his wife, Rose.
My sincerest condolences to the family in the loss of your loved one. May you find needed strength, peace and comfort from Psalm 34:18; knowing God is close to those broken at heart; and from his promise at Revelation 21:3,4 to do away with all causes of pain and suffering. It is also hoped that fond memories and many loving expressions of caring shared with family and friends will be comforting.I understand I will be required to return in the most current version of my program and must fulfill the Professional Communication and Leadership Healthcare (C820) requirement by attending 8 live sessions. I accept the program breakdown that was sent to me as my degree plan upon my return.
Rose, sorry for your loss. Ray is at peace now.
God Bless
My deepest sympathies to the family of Mr Manley. May the words at John 5:28, 29 be of comfort.
Never actually met Ray but really wanted to! Known him for years because of Game we player together. He and Rose are close to my heart. Real people! God has a good angel today!
