Ray Bester and Family. It is sad to read about your loss and my condolences go out to you and your family. We lost my mother this May and now find ourselves in the position of our parents. The lot of us from St. James who are all at a certain age have a job to do with our grand children that would make our parents proud. - Posted by: J. R. (Dick) Stooke (Acquaintance) on: Jul 10, 2005
