Sorry to hear of Ray’s passing. He was a blast to hang out with in church.
Thank you Dennis!
I was searching for someone’s Obit & just noticed this one of Ray Mills. There are many fond memories of my husband and me serving with Ray & Doris in the former Rolling Hills Baptist Church (now First Baptist Church of Ft Worth) children’s & youth ministries.for many years. My heartfelt and deepest condolences to Doris and all the family in their loss, though Heaven’s gain. Ray’s infectious laugh was a delight to hear. May God bless you, sustain you and surround you with His wonderful Comfort. Sincerely, Glenda Maxey.
