Ray Powers

My heart is very sad to learn that Ray is gone. What an amazing man. Larger than life itself and very charismatic. I have a lot of memories of he and his beautiful wife, Mary. But what stands out more to me is the friendship and bond he shared with my daddy, Billy Otto. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that my dad loved Ray.
Ray was kind enough to speak at my dad's funeral. To this day, the story that Ray told about one of many trail rides they were on together is the one story that is...

Dear Mark, Mary and David,

I was so sad to hear about Ray and my heart breaks for you. I have so many wonderful memories of you all and I am very grateful that you were and are still in my life.
May God hold and guard your hearts during this difficult time and thank you Mark for always being there for me. I love you friend and hate that I can't be there right now. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Love,
Tina
