Dear Debbi and Family,
There are no words of sympathy I can express at this time. I am so happy I had the opportunity to find your forever home. I know it was shared with so much happiness and love. Ray was so special, one of the nicest people I ever meet. May you all be strong because that's what Ray would want.
May he always R.I.P. and may you always keep all the wonderful memories in your heart,
Sharon,David and Nicole Mellion
