My goodness, it doesn't seem possible that it's been 12 years since Ray's transition. I think you, Diana, have been a real trooper during his illness, passing and getting on with life. You haven't left a stone uncovered! You are a great example to follow. Blessings, my friend. Dixie

Diana, my wishes for strength and clarity are with you, as you adjust to a different life, now. Ray was such a sweet and loving man and so embraced life...

Ray was an inspiration to me and he will be missed by the many who we met on his long and blessed life. I hope you find comfort and mercy in the coming days knowing that Ray was one of those special people that will be recalled as a hero for those who knew him or were just mere acquaintances.

My dear Diana, I know God is blessing you, and Ray on his new journey. I admire you for your strength, you were the best advocate for Ray, and stood so strong for him, getting him the best possible care and treatment and tending to his wants and needs. I know this was invaluable to him. We will miss his presence, but we know he is still with us in spirit. In Love and Light, Dixie
