I just want to say thank you to Kim and Ray for allowing me to be a part of her passing. My goal was to help make her comfortable and to offer a shoulder to the two of you. I wasn't sure where I belonged in all of this until she said, "I love you, baby. I'll see you tomorrow." Then I knew where I belonged. It was such an honor and a privilege to witness her spirit and beauty until she passed. I will forever remember this experience and I will forever be grateful to the two of you for allowing me to shower her with love and kisses til the end. I love you guys.
