It was in the halls of Talley Jr. high school as 8th graders where we first met. Erika wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend. Undaunted, Ray would carry Erika's books and walk her to class. But, soon their paths would divert to separate schools and separate lives - marriages and children. After decades apart, their paths would come together again, after pain and loss. Reunited they found friendship, romance and the faith to follow the Lord's blueprint for relationships. We now fully embrace the blessings, love and joy God has made available to us as we move forward and become family. We look forward to celebrating and fellowshipping with you during this happy time. May God get the glory!
