Raymond, You have been the best friend and brother any sister could ever have. You always made sure i was protected from any harm. We had so much fun as kids, never getting into too much mischief. The last 6 days of your life were the hardest for me also. I knew deep inside that this was the end. I saw you suffering so much but knew you made the right decision. It was hard for us to accept at first but accepted your wishes. I know mom & dad were waiting for you and will take care of...

Raymond, you and I had so many laughs through the years. You were more than just my older and wiser cousin. You were a friend. I will miss your sarcasm. Who else will be able to go one on one with me? I will miss your stories. I concede, you had me beat...lol. You will always be "my mentor". Until we meet again...I love you. - Grasshopper

Anne-Marie,
You may not remember me, but you were a member of IAAP back in the early 2000s. I am so sorry about Raymond. Please know that you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Ray was a great guy. Always with a smile and something positive to say. He was a good friend to my Dad for years. Ray was one of the few Elks members that were there for my Dad when he was struggling with his health. He often picked him up and took him out and about town, often bringing him by to see me while I was working. I will never forget that, and what a good friend and person he was to my father.
Rest easy Ray.
Tell my Dad hello..
Forever grateful for your kindness.....
