Terry Blake-Boehm wrote a sympathy message

“My father (Walter) was Ray's father's brother. We, my mother Rhea, my brother Denny and myself spent many a holiday (and non-holidays) at their family home in Catonsville, Maryland. I had occasion to visit that house not too many years ago. The "new" family (10 children)vs only 5 little Blakes, knew this former family by reputation. My presence was warmly welcomed and I was invited in. The memories just flooded in! My heart was full. I am sorry for your loss. With love, Cousin Terry of Colo.”
