Dear Ray,
For many years, my husband and I admired the love that you and Barbara shared, both for each other and for the life that you made.
I will always remember your example, and I suspect hundreds of others in this town will too.
May you continue on this journey that we call LIFE until the day that you and Barbara are together again.
Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. Song of Solomon 8:7
Love you, Denise Vogel

I’m sitting here crying for your loss Ray, but I can’t get your famous line out of my head.
“How long ‘you been married, Ray?”
I can hear you say, “54 Happy Years… AND OUT OF 54 THAT’S NOT BAD!”
… A LIFETIME
I love you both! Denise
