Linda and family, we are sadden as you are at the loss of Bro. Owens. He was an amazing man. With a big hi and an even bigger hug or handshake he would greet us. Always happy to see us. We pray for the Lord to provide your family with comfort peace and strength. May he provide you also with laughter while sharing stories of him. We love you.

I grew up hearing stories about all of Grandma Wood's (Pearl) brothers and sisters. Ray was credited with telling a good number of scary stories! When I finally got to meet some of the family it was fun to try and match the faces up with the tales. Seemed to me Ray had a little grin that made it easy to picture him telling a good 'ol scary story and then having a chuckle over scaring the pants off his nieces and nephews.
And, Grandma made sure all us grand-kids knew how good her brothers/sisters were to her. Ray played a big part in those accounts as well.
Ray's loss leaves ripples. Words don't smooth the water but maybe they can bring some solace.

Lois, Larry, Linda and Ron along with your children who have lost a grandfather
I have been so sad to know I won't see Ray again and sad that I am not able to come to the viewing and service. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time of sadness. He was special to me and I have been going over the memories I have of him. He was always thoughtful of us kids. My earliest memory of him must have been when I was about 2-3 yr. old maybe. Daddy, Mama, us three kids and Ray (and maybe Oscar) all packed into an old car and going to West Texas to pick cotton. I was sitting on Ray's lap and needed to go to the bathroom but no where to go, so I peed my pants and on Ray as well. He just held me over the old running board and didn't fuss. I asked him a few years ago if he remembered this but he said, "No". I don't know if he was being nice or he really didn't remember.
If we wanted to know anything, we just would ask Ray. Mom used to get aggravated and say he couldn't keep a secret. I think I inherited that from him because it is hard for me to keep a secret as well!
I remember him working hard on the farm down on the corner from Grandma and Grandpa. We still call that Ray's corner where we turn, that is our landmark. There was a well where they had to pull up the water bucket. I can't remember if there was electricity, but there was a path instead of a bath! The sand was so deep at that corner you could get stuck if you didn't stay in the beaten path. Now it is paved and hard to think it ever looked like that!
Just some rambling but remember you are loved.
Love Deanie
