Ray was a soldier throughout his life. He lived his life as the Army veteran he was and the Christian soldier the he remained.  Please help me send him off respectfully. Help me send him home.  
These funds will go towards Ray’s final costs. The expenses for funeral home and services and for his family from here and out of town to be able to celebrate the life he lived, unselfishly, along with some personal bills he had that must be taken care of.  We all see the commercials and think that everything is all set but that is not always the case, as I am finding out. The total costs of things are building up so fast. I need to have just $6000 by this Thursday 09/03/2026. Whatever I need after that is being prayed for. 
Your support would mean so much to me and my family. This is already a very stressful situation, especially having to repeat his leaving over and over again, in any communication but fees and costs just add to the pile. Would be forever grateful for any help from anyone that is willing and able to do so. 
i thank you all, in advance, for making this possible.
