The end of an era ... the last of a generation ... the passing of someone who has always been very dear to me... the third of the "fearsome threesome." My heart and my thoughts are with you, Joyce and Larry, and I pray for you to have the strength you need at this very difficult time. I will remember Auntie Ray always and fondly. Her words "have you been practicing the piano?" and "you need to lose weight" are still speaking to me. They were signs of her caring and her humor and I loved her dearly.
