    I knew Ray for a very long time. He had this calming spirit and very smooth deamenor, in other words, it took a lot to get his Feathers ruffled. I will miss Ray, thinking about him sitting on his couch watching TV, while the excitement of Brenda great summer Bar B Que under way. But he’s at peace and with God and I know he knew the Lord and he’s up there praising his name. Brenda may cherished memories give you comfort during this difficult time. Love you my Sister!

    Brenda, may the God of peace comfort you and your family at such a time as this. Earth has no sorrows heaven can’t heal.

    I am so sorry to hear about Ray. But wow — I knew Ray was intelligent, but after reading his Obituary filled with his education and experiences, he was an extremely intelligent man – Einstein like. Ray was very nice and always a gentleman. My prayers and thoughts are with you, Brenda. I wish you healing and peace, and I hope you feel surrounded by much love.

"Taren handled all of our arrangements and was open, honest, and very easy to talk to. The facility itself is nothing too fancy, and that was perfect for us. They offer incredible keepsakes at very reasonable prices. Special requests were not a problem but there was never pressure to do anything we did not need or want. This facility also works flawlessly with the Tahoma National Cemetery. Hope you don't need them, but in case you do - our experience could not have been better."
