I’ll never forget the day I was visiting my father-in-law’s condo in Dunedin for the first time back in 2017. I must have been quite the sight when a random 27-year-old rolled into the pool area and started chatting with you and Trish! That’s one of the qualities I loved most about you and made us instant friends, Ray! You and Trish welcomed me as one of your own (and soon after, Geoff as well) that day and hanging out laughing, connecting, watching football, and breaking bread together was so natural.
Little did my husband and I know that our own world would be rocked within the next year, loosing his dad in Dunedin. Without hesitation, you both offered us to stay with you during the hardest 5 days of our lives. We were, are, and forever will be grateful for your warmth, openness, compassion, hospitality, love, and care for us then when you didn’t need to do a thing (these photos were taken that toughest day).
Though we didn’t get to see one another many times in person, we are so grateful to have known you. You left a mark on our hearts and we will carry you with us always until we are reunited once again.
♥️Melissa and Geoff Foster
