To Eileen & Family of Ray Mulcahy,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. This has to be alot to handle in less than a month but you can tell how much love was between your Mom and Dad, one could not live without the other.
I was looking at all the pictures you had at the Brandon Inn and you could see the love that your parents had for all of you. Cherish the memories.

My dad was Brendan, but he died. I wish I could have known my grammy and grandpa better, but I am sorry my grandpa died. He was nice.

You are in our special thoughts and prayers. Every once in a while, something "catches our breath" and tugs at our hearts. The loss of your father, and our dear Uncle Ray is such an occassion. During the time in which his brother, John, my father, was so critically ill, I saw a lot of Uncle Ray. Both brothers placed each other on a pedestal. There was always another story to tell, always another joke. Sitting together, sharing their history, both men beaming with laughter as they reminisced the dynamics of the Mulcahy clan - an amazing journey, an amazing generation - the story tellers.
Both souls: Aunt Lillian and Uncle Ray lay at peace with each other.
Honoring the memory of a very special man.

To the Mulcahy family: Although I did not know Raymond, I was neighbors with the Mulcahy family of Upper Camp Street in Barre, Vermont and wished to also share my condolences. Respectfully, Ronald Landry.

Dear Family,
We are so very saddened to hear of your loss. Our fathers were very close and we both admired and were inspired by our Uncle Ray. He was a beautiful giant of a man in all of our eyes. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Love and Blessings,
