Rayma is now a true angel with our LORD. I know she's reached the eternal life that we all look forward to after our physical life here. I'll miss corresponding with Rayma via snail mail, as we did so often since she moved away from Galveston and our Chrysanna Fellowship group at Moody Methodist Church. She's probably already sitting at the table with Jolene playing Yahtzee! Our thoughts and prayers are with Rayma's family.
