family, faith, and friends

These three things will make the good times sweeter and the hard times bearable.

--A thought from JoAnn Hickman at Ray Hillam's funeral yesterday.


I'm full of the spirit of yesterday's celebration of Ray's life. Perhaps I'll write more later. Perhaps not. I can't write much at this time as Sunday calls my name this way and that. In any case, what a grand man. He certainly touched my life for good.

Thank you, Ray.
