Dear uncle Raymond - I was blessed with a very cheerful grandfather who I loved dearly -you reminded me of him in more ways than one. He was a teacher like yourself who absolutely loved his career , his dear wife and children, just like you. You both made growing old seem effortless and joyful. I doubt I ever heard you moan about anything. You were always kind and loving to David , our girls and I. You consoled me and auntie Marie too, when my daddy died. You have been that special uncle for us in England and we praise God for your witness. We thank God for your joyful nature. We bless God for your love of marriage and family life. You have poured your life out for so many people. You have fought the good fight. You have finished the race and you kept the faith all the way. Please God , go and recieve your crown of righteousness. Thank you for being YOU ! We will miss you and your warm Big hugs !!! Love & prayers from Your special ‘niece’ aba shields. XxxxX
