I WAS BLESSED TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO ATTEND THE FUNERAL OF GRADY LEE RAY. IT WAS AN AWESOME SERVICE HONORING THE MOST AMAZING MAN I HAVE EVER MET. HIS PASTOR DISCRIBED GRADY PERFECTLY AND RESINATED MY THOUGHTS PRIOR TO ATTENDING. GRADY AND PEGGY "ADOPTED" MY TWO CHILDREN AND I WHEN WE MOVED TO MASON HALL 43 YEARS AGO. GRADY TOOK MY SON SHANE FISHING ALONG WITH WADE AND MADE A PERMANENT MEMORY. ALSO HE WOULD PLAY OLD MAID FOR HOURS WITH AMBER; HENCE HER NICKNAME OLD MAID. THEY HAVE BLESSED US ALL THREE FOR YEARS AND WE WILL FOREVER BE GRATEFUL. GRADY WAS ALWAYS GOD FEARING, HUMBLE, SINCERE, FUNNY,AND I NEVER HEARD HIM SAY AN UGLEY WORD OR SEEN HIM ANGRY. HE WAS THE CLOSEST THING TO PERFECT I HAVE EVER SEEN. I WAS SO BLESSED TO HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR 43 YEARS AND WILL FOREVER BE IN MY HEART FOR THE KINDNESS HE SHOWN TO MY CHILDREN AND ME. HE WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.
