Christy Pilkinton
Ray was very precious to the art community & to me! I have known him since 1991 and was in classes with him every Thursday with Shirley Pharris. He was a very dear friend and came by my studio weekly. The easels, painting holders, framing wire and paint rollers he built are being used by over 100 people in my weekly classes. We are all very blessed in having known Ray and will look forward to the reunion coming as 'we have this Hope as an anchor for our souls…' that everything God has promised us is true!!" My love to Ray's family. Please let me know if there is any way I can be a help or comfort. Love, Christy Pilkinton 615-860-2368. I also created a Facebook page for Shirley's students that has some photos from those days Students of Shirley Pharris https://www.facebook.com/groups/1663088727237046/
