Memories and Condolences
for Byron Gray

Not sure what to say?





My prayer is that the Gray family find peace during this time of bereavement. Byron will be greatly missed. He definitely left his impact on the world. The fall semester of 85 at Nicholls State University seems like a lifetime ago. Thank you family for sharing such a wonderful person with us. Be blessed.

My heart goes out to the Gray family. I can't explain how I felt when I got the news that my friend had passed away. I was overwhelmed. Byron was on my mind 2 weeks prior to him going home to be with the Lord. I will always remember his smile and the way he played with my children when they were toddlers. My prayers and thoughts are with the family.

The works I've done,
sometimes it seems so small,
it seems like I've done nothing at all.
But when I stand before God's throne
and hear Him say well done
Then I know the works I've done
Spoke for me.

With heart felt sympathy. Keeping the family in my thoughts and prayers.

Cousin Vendora, words seem so small at times like this when the pain is so great... Know that your family is uplifting you in love and prayer. Byron will be greatly missed. I will always remember how proud you were of him and the immense motherly love you held for him. He was very special. My dad spoke fondly of seeing him just recently. We share your loss and pray that peace that transcends understanding surrounds you. Love, Sharon Barker-Spears & family, Almo Barker, & Gregory Barker
