To my gas and oil friends, I lost my wonderful sweet wife of 54 years last night. Many of you have met Mary Sue over the years at Columbus and at Iowa Gas. We were best friends and both loved to collect. She has had Alzheimer's for the past 8 years but it didn't really get bad until about a year ago and then really bad the past month. Anyway, thank you to those that have already heard and have contacted me
Ray

Sorry to hear you lost your wife and friend. God be with you and your family, Brian
So sorry to hear this . May God Bless you and your family and help you during this difficult time.
I have been going thru a similar situation with my wife this past year . In and out of the hospital 3 times this year , once in intensive care and almost lost her.
So much stress I know first hand .Still dealing with the memory loss , same questions over and over.
I am sure it took a lot of understanding on your part as I find myself getting frustrated sometimes and try to catch myself.
We get so busy in life & it passes so quickly , we look back and wonder where it all went.
Hold on to the memories as you had many blessed years to reflect back on.
God Bless You
Sorry to hear Ray, can't imagine your loss but prayers for you both
Very sorry for your loss, God bless. Les

I am so sorry for your loss. I know that the two of you were very close and shared a special loving relationship for many years. Whenever I saw Mary Sue I could see the love and joy in her eyes for you. She always smiled whenever we talked at a show and I will also miss seeing her. I will be praying for you during this very difficult time.

Brian
Ray,
I am truly sorry to hear of the passing of your wife. I never had the pleasure of meeting her but my dad did when you stopped by Colorado Springs on your way to Iowa Gas to deliver a couple of signs. He really enjoyed the conversation you guys had and really thought your wife was as sweet as they come. I cannot begin to comprehend how difficult it is for you to lose your wife? I witnessed my dad's pain after my mom's passing....they were married 54 years as well.
My thoughts and prayers are with you through these rough times and if there is anything I can do, please let me know.
Prayers for you and your family.
God Bless, Mike
Ray sorry for your loss. I am on my way to 7:30 Mass. I will offer this Mass for your wife, Mary Sue.Dan.
Ray,
My condolences to you and your family. Thoughts are with you.
Regards,
Dave
Ray,
We are so very sorry for your loss. It is very fortunate that you had such a great friend to share your life with and may you and your family find peace in the coming days and years!
With deepest sympathy,
Keith and Cari Breazeal
Ray....so sorry to hear about Mary Sue. She was always the consummate "California Girl" just pretty as a picture and bubbly personality. I so miss having my sales and seeing you guys come rolling into town with tales of danger & woe coming through the Southern Rockies. Give me a call please, would love to talk. 405-627-1052
