THE WALL OF FACES

Ray
It took me years to live up to the promise I made to you. But I did get to your grave site thanks to the person who left detailed instructions to where you were. RIP my friend until we meet again.

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam
And for a brief moment its glory
and beauty belong to our world
But then it flies again
And though we wish it could have stayed...
We feel lucky to have seen it.

I’ve just seen Vietnam lost films and the last scene is your name on the wall at Arlington cemetery. RIP sir and thank you for your service your country is proud of you. Never forget you are always thought of by your friends and family.

Ray, it's been over 60 years when we were in school, I remember hearing about your death and felt a little sad. I know you rest in our Savior's arms...sleep well brother I'll be seeing in awhile.
