Dear Eula Mae & Wayne,

I was so sorry to read about McCray. He was always so much fun to be around….so full of foolishness all the time. He had such a wonderful laugh and always had a smile on his face. Some people are really special and he was one of those people. Mother and Daddy were so fond of him. We will be lifting you up in prayer throughout the coming days.
