To the Editor:

We would like to say thank you all again for all the amazing kindness, love, prayers and support everyone has offered us throughout these past couple of weeks. It is all greatly appreciated!

We'd also like to thank the people at Chapman, Cole, and Gleason Funeral, including Christopher Berg and his staff, for keeping Ray's services personal yet completely professional. We are so pleased to have had the honor of using such a nice facility under such tragic circumstances.

For all those who would like to honor Ray's memory, we have set up a college trust fund to help his daughter, Deanna Cardoza, continue her education, which was very important to Ray. The fund will be set up at Eastern Bank. Checks can be made out to Raymond J. Cardoza Jr. Memorial Fund and mailed to Eastern Bank, 266 Main St., Wareham, MA, 02571.

The Cardoza Family
