Personal note from The Ray Family

We will miss Colin tremendously, and are so thankful for you all who are here visiting this site, sharing, and praying for our family. While you are here, please RSVP yes, no, maybe for Colin Ray's Memorial Service.
we hope you will share your favorite memories of him too.
We are planning to produce a video to be played/streamed in the Memorial program that can become a gift to my Mom & Dad following.
It truly is the best gift to us in hearing how you know Colin, the funny memories and fun experiences with him...as well as the moments that Colin touched your heart and life. Thank you so very much in advance for taking the time to snap pictures of the photos you have and send using any method that's easiest for you to share photos with us....
