G. Ray Tolley


About a month ago my Grandpa Tolley was diagnosed with liver cancer. They gave him about 6-8 months to live. Then about a week after he was diagnosed they said that we "would be lucky to get two weeks" 3 days later he died. It was such a shock. We had just found out that he had cancer then to have lost him to it 2 weeks later. They say that they think he had it for a total of 2 months. It moved very rapidly. I am glad he did not have to suffer to long however I will miss him so much. He was that grandpa that always was there. Gave the big hugs and pulled on your nose and ears. Such a teaser. His faith in the church was amazing. He never let it go. He was so proud of his family. He had an amazing life, he and my grandma traveled in the RV and has seen so much. They got married on his 17th birthday, she had been 17 for a week! They would have been married for 65 years this Nov. I know how much in love they are. He was an incredible man and I know he was called to do more. Until we meet again Grandpa.

I LOVE YOU!









This military ceremony was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen in my life. He would have been so happy!
