One of my favorite scriptures is the promise recorded at John chapter 5. Verse 28 and 29 are the words of Christ Jesus. They contain the promise of a resurrection.

dear Nina, I am so sorry for your loss of Raymond. He gave me my first guitar, how that changed my life. I didn't fully appreciate what a wonderful gift that was until I tried to replace it decades later.
Now what is left is the hope of a resurrection paid by Christ's blood. I am confident Raymond will get that chance to serve God again.
With love from the Davis family.

Sorry to hear of the passing of Raymond Woodard. I have known him for many years and will miss seeing him in the hay fields. He was an honest man and you could take him at his word!
