Cecil "Ray" Ray Ballard

Dear Ballard Family, Please know how much Bro. Ballard will be missed. He was such a friendly saint of God who always shook our hands with gusto, and had a smile for us all. May the Lord be with you during this time, With Kind Regard, J.Burk

I am so sorry for everyones loss. Pappy was a good man and will be missed.

"Perhaps they are not the stars, but rather openings in heaven where the love of our lost ones pours through and shines down upon us to let us know they are happy."

John, Sherry & family, I just wanted you to know how special Ray was to me. During short time I knew him, I grew to love him as my own family. He stayed many nights with us in Waxahachie, I had the privilege of traveling to Washington, D.C. with the Ellis County Honor Flight with him and that is the greatest memory every. He was one of the main reasons we have celebrated the Ballard Family Reunion, and will continue to do so as he loved it so very much.

He is at peace & at home now, and may you all be comforted by that. Blessings to you all, Melissa & Layne
