WILLIAM WRAY TOEWS

William Wray, the son of William and Annetta Toews, was born April 11, 1963. He was a happy child and seldom cried. At six months it became evident that he had Hurler's Syndrome, a disease shared with his sister. During his short life he had to be hospitalized often, seven times in the first year alone. During the second year his condition seemed to be improved but in January of this year he began to suffer from hydrocephalous. He was hospitalized April 30 and passed away five days later. During the lifetime of tiny Wray, his parents often experienced the sustaining presence of the Lord.

Surviving Wray are his parents; an older sister, Patricia; a younger brother, Michael; his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Toews of Harrow, Ont.; and Mr. and Mrs. Jacob H. Reimer of Vineland.
