I was saddened to hear of Ray's death. I am the daughter of Patricia (Schenk) Farrell who attened U.D. and knew Cosmina and Ray. My parents talked of you often when I was gowing up. My father, Brian, passed away a year ago on 3-27-08. I hope you get this message and know we are thinking of you at this sad time and wishing you the comfort of warm memories.

My husband, Dr. Paul Bybee and Raymond were friends since the days of the Counts of Conjuring back in Cincinnati, Ohio. They have stayed in communication all of these years. Something very special must have been instilled in them when they were young. My husband has a shunt in his brain so he asked that I write this for him. My husband used to volunteer at our Mercy clinic and was sometimes able to get deeply troubled children to communicate by a little "magic" from his days of Counts of Conjuring. He loved Ray's emails. We will be making a donation to our local St. Vincent DePaul's in his honor. I am sure that our loving God will take good care of him in heaven. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Sincerely Matilda and Paul Bybee
