May God bless you and your...
Hi, Joan. When I spoke to Ray briefly on the phone from my mother's hospital room in October, he thought I wouldn't remember him. I will remember you both very fondly for very long. I can see you both now as you were in NY so long ago, and his voice was sweetly familiar. I have always been proud to have been named after him. I'm sorry it was so rough for you both at the end. Be well yourself.
