Judy, I just started back at work and the first thing I wanted to know is when are the Follets coming in? I was crushed when I heard the news. I grew to care for you both so much! You were both so good to me. I loved caring for Ray. You were both a bright spot in my day. I will miss seeing you and your smiling faces in the clinic and I am deeply sorry for your loss. He was such a fighter.. He was an inspiration to me! I want you to know I am well and I fought very hard. Thank you for sharing him with us. I will never forget the two of you!

To all you Folletts, I am very sorry that Ray had to leave you . After all his long illness, I believe he is much more comfortable. I'm praying that the Lord will comfort and guide you during this time of grieving and loss. God bless each and every one of you. Laura Catherine Fortune
