Hello Steve,
I am so sorry to learn of Uncle Rayford’s passing. I am sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of him and your family from when I was a child. I remember your visits to our house in Chapel Hill. I regret that our extended family has always been so distanced. Many blessings, your cousin, Zenda (Uncle Buck and Aunt Zuliene’s daughter).
