October 28, 1964 – September 11, 2009

Son, it’s been two long years since we last hugged and kissed you.
God saw that you were getting tired and cure was not to be. So He placed His arms around you and whispered, “Come with me.” With tearful eyes we let you go as you slowly slipped away. Although we love you dearly, we could not make you stay. Your precious heart stopped beating, hard working hands laid to rest. All your wonderful memories will be kept the best. For this, God has proved to us, He only takes the “Best.”
There isn’t a day that goes by without you in our thoughts. All the memories we shared will never be forgotten. And in our hearts we know you will always be by our side, making sure we follow down the right path leading to you. One day we will all be reunited with you up in heaven with Our Lord and Holy Father.
Until then, you are still missed and loved here on earth.
Until we meet again…
your loving family:
Dad, Darcey & Sandra Raymond;
wife, Debora Raymond;
son, Steven Thompkins;
sister, Darla & Ricki Myers & family.
