This past week my Mother's oldest brother, Ray, passed away in his sleep. He had just turned 70 in February...may seem old to some, but the older you get, the younger it sounds. This is the first of the 6 siblings to pass away, so it was very hard on all of them. We travelled to West Tennessee for the funeral on Friday.

For my mother and my aunts and uncles who read this blog, I want you to know that we are praying for you as you experience this time of grief and sadness.
