Raymond;   I have not been on the Raymond's Co.Down website hosted by yourself, Raymond but, for only about two years now and have been on the receiving end of your wonderful works.   You encouraged me to keep going on, even though I had very little to work with. It has paid off I might add and it was your encouraging words and help in locating many of my ancestors in Co.Down.   I can't help but, be a bit sad with your news but, I am also happy for you and your family.   You will be greatly missed and I too thank you for so much of your time and dedication you have put into Raymond's site and for all the help you have givien so many of us..   Enjoy your life and know just how much you are loved and how much you have blessed others with your kindness.   God Bless you my dear friend,   Sharon/USA
