I really do believe you're in a better place, playing sax in a jazz band in another dimension, having the time of your new life. Think about you all the time and always with a smile. Lots of love from your baby sister, Reg.

Even though I met Ray briefly I enjoyed his quick wit and humor he found in life. Knowing Penny and her descriptions of Ray I knew he was a likeable character. Later after finally meeting Ray, I described them to others as two peas in a pod. God Bless Penny in her loss of her soul mate and may Ray rest in Peace forever.
