Newborn,
Ray Franz was a close friend of my brother-in-law and we met him and had dinner with
him and Cynthia in 1975 at Bethel. My b-i-l's wife left him shortly after our visit and Ray
introduced him to his wife-to-be a year or so later and married them in 1977. He has always
held a special place in our heart. As has been said, he is a humble, caring, unassuming
man. Cynthia is a bubbly, hospital, caring woman. We read CofC as soon as it was
published in 1983 and could not put it down. My husband and I fought over who was
going to get it to read. We finally compromised and read it to each other.
hee hee We had not been disfellowshipped yet. We have visited him and had
correspondence and email from him with tesimonies from many places. He will talk to
and email anyone. He is just so kind and down-to-earth.
I know they both have been ill. Cynthia has had health problems for many years
and Ray has had heart problems from what I have heard. I know he is older than
my husband and Joe is 81.
Love and hugs,
Velta
