gardening. Sister Henry enjoyed helping others and spending time with her children and
grandchildren.

Earlier in life while dressed in corduroy, Rosa Lee Bray met the love of her life Ralph

Bray, Jr. and Leroy Bray. And a host of in-laws, nieces and nephews, and family and

    Kim, I never was able to meet your mother but I feel that I knew her spirit from the family gatherings you would tell me about on the farm. What wonderful memories of the fun times you shared with your extended family. It takes a special mom and dad to create a good family. I am so sorry to hear about your mom passing but glad you have all the remembrances and inherited wonderful qualities from her. Sheila

    When I first met my mother in law I felt she wasn't too keen on me but overtime we became very fond of each other. The most memorable moment we shared was one Sunday while she was getting ready for church she told me with a big smile on her face "you're alright with me, take care of my son".
