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 you now. You and your "buddy" will have a lot to talk about !! I will always love you and will miss you the rest of my days on earth. I know I will see you, ma and dad one day when we are reunited in heaven. In the meantime, Arthur will take good care of me so don't worry . OK. Love, Diane

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

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..
My thoughts and prayers go out to your enire family during this difficult time.
