I have some sad news to report

I wanted to let you know that Mr. Ray's mom has pasted away. She passed away peacefully in her sleep on Wednesday. I went to the funeral home tonight to see him and he seems to be doing pretty good. He is very tired, but anxious to get back to school.
If you decide to tell your kids, (I know death is a hard thing to explain to kids) he would love a home made card or just a hug at school Thursday from the kids. My Natalie made one for him and I gave it to him tonight. He loved it. He wants to get back to school, he says it is his therapy. He loves the kids and he says it would really make him feel better to get back.
Anyway, I just wanted to let you all know this. Everyone knows that Ray is a wonderful guy. He always has a smile on his face and is a huge help with our PTO functions. He loves our school and loves his job! I love him and I know my kids do too.
If you would like to pay your respects, the services are tomorrow, at Baue off of Hwy 70 and Cave Springs, 12-2pm tomorrow, then they will have a chapel service, then they will go to the cemetery.
