Happy Birthday Great Uncle Gene Ray

This past year has been a difficult one for Gene Ray, but he is doing much better now. A year ago when we celebrated his 80th birthday with a big family reunion party, he wasn’t feeling very well. His stomach ached, he had no appetite and he lost a great deal of weight. After an operation, we learned that he had cancer, but he took his treatments and today the doctors consider him cancer free. Now he enjoys no pain, a good appetite and has added a few pounds. He loves his great nephews, which he calls his “little boogers”, and enjoys sharing country rides with us talking about the old times. With him feeling better we look forward to seeing him even more often.
