  Alisa & Ray, when our family moved to VA in 1970, living on Pleasure House Rd, our family met your family at Bayside Christian Church and our families became friends. In February 1972, tragedy struck our family in WV with a massive flood. Your parents took us kids to stay with y'all while our parents went to WV to find information on our Mom's side of the family. What a week or so we had. Lol your Mom drove us all to school, we went to Hermitage and you both went to Thoroughgood. I willnalways remember how your parent made us feel so welcome and not so scared. Keith and I will n'allais remember the talks with your Dad out front, the times they send gifts to our Girls at Christmas, your sweet Dad telling us he keeps his eyes on the girls when they were out front playing so no one could hurt them 🥹 we will certainly miss your Mom as much as we do your Dad. Our deepest sympathy to you both. Keith & Lora

  Deepest sympathy to Alyssa and Ray Jr. I met Toni one April day in 1973 when I walked into her insurance office to say hello to her and her boss, Agent Wesley Gray. I was offered a job as her assistant and she took me under her wing sharing with me that she had started her own career when she was my age. For 2 years she trained me and we became close. At 16 I didn't know much but I knew these things about Toni. She was very beautiful. Very feminine. She was always in a dress and heels. She had a real confidence in who she was. She was a young Mom who loved her children and loved Ray. I am forever grateful for her influence on my life and I pray for comfort to the family.
