It’s very heartwarming to hear Paul, Johnny, BJ and Debbie as well as Jeff testify to the Lord Jesus Christ. I’m so happy to see that they have followed in the footsteps of Ray and Betty. Wonderful service. Our deepest condolences to the Good family. “When we all get to heaven, what a day of rejoicing that will be…..”

I met Ray when he was in fellowship at the Linwood Gospel Chapel. He always greeted me with a warm smile and a handshake. Behind those welcoming eyes was a warm heart and a desire to serve those under his pastoral care. I admired his knowledge of the scriptures and his ability to make the Word of God understandable and applicable to my life. A faithful servant, a Christian gentleman and friend to all he met. My condolences to Betty and the family.

We are praying for God’s peace to surround our dear friend Debbie and her family as they say good-bye to their father. We know that he will be greatly missed. What a comfort it is to have the assurance that he is now free from pain and in the presence of his Saviour and Lord.

Debbie,
I’m so sorry for your loss. I met your mom and dad on an Easter Sunday when you and your family invited me to dinner as my husband was traveling for work.
It was wonderful to meet your parents, and I remember your dad being such a sweetheart.
I could see the sparkle in your eyes when you were around your parents or when you spoke of them.
You have been such a caring and loving daughter to both of them. No doubt it’s bittersweet to not have your dad, but mostly sweet, as you know where he is and that you will be reunited with him someday.
Please let us know if we can help with anything.
Sending our love to you and your family, and keeping your sweet mother in our thoughts and prayers as well.
Love you,
Evelyn Craft
