We are thinking of you Edith, Dave, John and families.
Uncle Raymond was so special to me. I used to love visiting at Birch Crest. He would let me drive the golf cart. We would go to town for supplies and Chrisie would come too if she was there. I dressed him up to be Santa Claus one Christmas and he did a good job. We would talk on the phone often. For many years Mom and Raymond would talk daily., she always said that they were like twins. We will both miss him but have beautiful memories
RIP.
