We were sad to hear of Mrs. Wray's passing. My mother is at North Pointe across the hall from Mrs. Wray and she would always come by and chat with us when she was able to do so. We will miss seeing her smile. May God Bless your family during this most difficult time. Your mother was a very special person and we were all lucky to have known her. God Bless Paulette and Orethia Bowman
