Sorry about yesterday's random but important post. I am away for the weekend and forgot to prepare anything. Today's post is probably from the 1930s but who are the Scouts?

Yesterday there was a commemoration of life service for Raymond. It was well attended with some wonderful eulogies from family and friends. This post was viewed 6000 times and there were over 400 comments from you all and these were "harvested" and put into a folder for his family.

It is with great sadness that I have been informed that Raymond Moody had just passed away, peacefully at home surrounded by his family. RIP Raymond.
