Pat and family, I am remembering fond memories from Zion Baptist Church and your sweet family and buying Christmas Trees from you for $5.00 when the children were at Davidson. So very sorry for the sadness you feel but also know you bask in the thought of Heaven being one more bright star shining in hearts forever. Praying, Bobbie Lee Cunningham
It is with sadness that I heard about Rays homegoing. I knew him as the precious dad of his children. I know the grief of losing RaeLyn was overwhelming to him. But it is a joy to know he is with her now never to be separated again. I was blessed to teach his son Reece and now Chad is my cardiologist. If anything makes a man successful it is how he nurtures his family. His children are a testimony to his devotion and dedication to them and his remarkable,wonderful wife Pat. You are in my prayers and I love you all
