Mrs. Wray was my summer grandmother and of course Mr. Wray was always grand dad…. While I spent the summers as a young girl with Uncle Jim and Aunt Susie, Mrs. Wray always treated me as one of hers. Teaching us how to cook turnovers and of course Sunday school every sunday with fresh orange wedges. Such a kind, loving person, we will miss her and always remember her.
