Hi Marilyn,
I don't know if you remember me or not, but I'm VeeAnn Dyga's daughter.  I just wanted to let you and the girls know that you are in my thoughts and prayers as you face the loss of such a big part of your life.  I know you've faced loss much in your past, but a spouse has a different twist to it.
I have some terrific memories of you and Ray, especially the trip to the "farm". Thank you so much for those.
May you find peace in knowing that he's a peace with his savior.
God bless,
Tia (Dyga) Peterson##imported-begin##Tia (Dyga) Peterson##imported-end##
Marilyn and family,
We were very sorry to hear about Ray's death. We pray that you will feel God's peace and comfort. Ray is in a perfect place now where each shot is a hole-in-one, every game is a 300 and the Wolverines never lose.
With Love,
Mike and Jenn##imported-begin##Mike Larson##imported-end##

I am so sorry for your loss. I have such great memories of Ray and all the fun we had together at your house as a child and young adult. I grew up in that house. I will cherish those memories. I am very happy you were all with him while he passed. Know my love and prayers go out to you and your extended families.

Dear Marilyn, Carmen, Becky, Sherry, and Shawn, I was so sorry to hear of Ray's death. I realize it has been a horrible battle for a long time.... but you won the fight. Ray is at peace and now, hopefully, you will have peace and comfort knowing that he is safe and loved. He was a wonderful man and will be missed by more than just family. God love you and keep you all. Evie##imported-begin##Evie Sias##imported-end##
None of you know me (Marilyn, you and I met once @ Tommy Cooper's wedding) but I am a good friend of Marilyn Coopers' and remember meeting Ray @ Tommy's wedding and what a handsome, handsome man he was and so much fun. I just remember you being his beautiful wife, Marilyn. I have had updates on Ray's condition for months and have prayed for him many times. Know he is @ peace now and w/ the Lord. This next year will be very rough so please utilize the people who offer help...keep busy. God love all of you thru this difficult time.##imported-begin##Marsha Mahynski##imported-end##
