Dear Family,
My brother, Joe Kross, and I were childhood friends of Ray when we resided on Engel Avenue in Cleveland. That was a very long time ago, but he is still dearly remembered as one of those people one does not ever forget.

Dear Family: I was very distressed to see the death of Ray on this website. I was wondering if you thought of the Bible's hope for his future. Many churches have different views although the Bible is very clear on this matter. Jesus' apostles said at Act 24:15 "that I have a hope toward God, which these men also entertain that there is to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous." This shows that regardless of what we do in this life we will be judged according to God's loving standards. Since he is a God all "powerful and merciful" I am sure this will bring you comfort. Jesus also stated at John 11:25 that"I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me even though he has died will find everlasting life." We hope that this brings you comfort in your hour of need. May the love of your family and friends comfort you during this time. May God continue to bless your family. Our prayers are with you!
Dear Rick and family, I am so sorry about the passing of your father. It was so fast. After seeing my mother fade away and suffer i can tell you it was a blessing that he did not have to go through that. The loss of him is no less painful and again i am so sorry. He was a great man from all i've heard, I wish i could have known him. Just keep your chins up and think of all the good times and all the years you had with him.
Dear Edith,
I was very sorry to read of Ray's passing.
