Sharon and Jason, Although It has been years since we’ve last spoken or seen each other, our family often thinks of all of you with fond memories. I am so sorry to hear of Ray’s illness and recent passing. I remember him from when I was just a child and he always had such a warm welcoming smile. Please know that my parents, my brother and I are all holding you in our thoughts and hope that as you share your own memories of him, you can find the space to smile a little at his memory too!

Sharon,
My sympathy and deepest regrets go out to you, Jay and his family at this difficult time.
I know the days ahead will be filled with mixed feelings of loss and sweet memories,
but they will become easier, one at a time, with the help of your family and friends.
I like to think that Chip has his golfing buddy back, and their journey together from
Connecticut to Clermont ended in heaven where they are pain free and playing a round every day.

Dear Sharon and Jason
So very sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts are with you both. I know it has been years since I saw you, but I would ask my Mom how everyone was doing in Florida. Take Care ❤

Sharon, you are in my thoughts and prayers. It was an honor taking care of Ray for the short period of time I was able to. Thank you, Sharon, for allowing me into your home and trusting me with Ray's care. You are such a strong and amazing woman and wife and I know this from knowing you for years. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
Love,
Kristen

We are so grateful that God put you and Ray in our lives. We're sure going to miss his smile! He could light up the room with his steady, happy presence. We love y'alls love. You two are soul mates and we truly feel this was not good-bye, it was see you later. We can't imagine the pain you are in, and we pray for your comfort and peace through this until you meet again.
Just know that it is ok to not be ok. That no one gets to decide how long you grieve but you. That we are so...
