It is with deep saddest to hear of the homegoing for Cuz Raymond, While reminiscing over the word of God, God states, "Well Done, my good and faithful servant..." certainly Raymond was faithful over many things. May God continue to comfort the entire Fortune and Fails family

I was so saddened to hear of the passing of Mr. Fortune. I had the pleasure of working with him on my first job at LU in the Financial Aid officee and he was the Loan Officer. He was so nice and pleasant to work with. After he retired from LU back in the 90's I would catch up with him every now and then. I think the last time I talked to him was last year around this time. He will be missed. Praying for Mrs. Fortune and Jan and the grandchildren. Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal. God bless you all.

I am so sad to hear of the homegoing of Mr. Fortune. I worked with him at Langston University back in the 1980's and he was my insurance man with Waddel/Reed. He was a very sweet man and I considered him my friend. May God comfort the family and know that you are in my prayers.

Mrs. Fortune, Words cannot begin to express my sincere and heart-filled condolences to you and your family. Mr. Fortune was always a kind and gentle giant. He stood so tall among the men in the Church and for that I was always grateful. May God renew your strength in the days ahead. May He send His comforter to hold you close. May His love that binds keep you through eternity.
