“Johnny we are all going to miss you so much. Especially those of us who really knew you and Love you so much. You and I graduated High School together, you served in the USMC before me, we went to Marine Corps Birthdays Celebrations together. Although I did not live in SC much after service 21 years in the USMC, I always found a way to visit each time I could come home. Your Father and my Grandmother Dora West Ray were brother and sister. Love to all your family. Lewis Lee Ray MGySgt USMC”
