I have heard about this wonderful little guy, Ray, from my friend, Liz Koley, here at work. She has shared some touching memories of Ray and I can tell how much she loved him.

You must have a huge hole in your heart from losing this child but, at the same time, feel blessed to have had him as long as you did.

My heart goes out to all of you.

Vanessa, Keener, Cindy, Ronny, Danya, & family,
I will miss Ray-Ray "curly's" little pinches and hugs he liked to give and watching him smile and laugh while riding on the "gator" around the neighborhood with Ronny. He loved that spiderman costume on halloween! He also loved playing in the backyard with his grandma & grandpa!
He was truly a little fighter. I admire your strength throughout these few years struggling with his illness. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today and always. Ray-Ray is a special little angel and will always be right there in your heart.
Thinking of you,
Jim, Colette and Shay Groves
