Jill, Jessie, Jamie, Ray J... I wish to give you my sympathy but, more importune, my shoulder to lean upon in this darken time. Just remember, he went peacefully and the years of memories you have are the pieces of Ray's heart that he's left behind for you to always cherish! If any of you ever need me, please feel free to call or come by! Always my love to all of you!
