I am deeply sorry for the loss of your wife and mother. I remember you, Dr Raymond as a caring physician when I worked on 3 south and when our girls were at BHS together. I met Margie a few times and she was a devoted wife and mother. Her family was the most important part of her life. She always had that special look when she looked at her husband and talked about her kids. I know she will be missed by her family and friends but knowing she is a peace hopefully will give you some comfort.
Dear Dr.Raymond,
You were my Jack’s physician years ago and your care and support during his battle with serious cardiac issues will never be forgotten.
I’m so very sorry to learn of the passing of your Margaret.
I pray that she and the good Lord will help you through these
difficult days.
God bless you

Dear Alexa and Family,
I feel like it was only yesterday Alexa was making us all laugh by impersonating “Marge” as she would fondly refer to her. She was a beacon for your beautiful family and will be missed by everyone who knew her. Sending you love and support during this difficult time.
