Raymond i will remember you forever you always new my name, Evan last week as I did your care, you knew me. You were such a sweet caring man. I remember when you first came to us helping you get ready to go to church and you walked as much as you could. Then when you had to go to your scooter chair I bought you the D rag with flames tower as you raced down the hall. You will always hold a special place in my heart. God speed Raymond, run all over heaven now. RIP.
