My deepest condolences to Evelyn, her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren, also to sister Yvonne, neices Marlene and Doreen in addition to many other nieces and nephews and their families. Raymond was a pillar of his community and will be remembered for his many contributions. In Memory of Raymond at this time words always seem like futile things, to those near and dear to him, but may you feel the sympathy this hertfelt message brings. May the Lord be with you as the thoughts and cherished memories of many friends and relatives support you at this time of loss, a loss to family, friends and the community. Raymond will always be with us in spirit! I regret that I will not be able to attend the funeeral but my prayers are with you.
