Dear Peggy and family,
Caitlyn and I wanted you to know how sorry we were to hear of Paul Ray's death. I always smile when I think of him because I have a whole roll of pictures of the back of his head from Caitlyn (and Sarah's) kindergarten graduation eight years ago. I can't see the girls but I can see his head. You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely, Cathy & Caitlyn Griffith
