To my Favorite Uncle Robert Ray. I will miss my uncle very much as he was like a father to me. He taught me alot and I appreciate him in letting me into his life. My uncle was always there for me as a father and as a friend. I can always talk to him and lend on him. He helped me make my decision in life and I am greatly for that. My uncle gave me away at my wedding in August of 2004 and I am so.........glad that he was part of that. He looks just like my father and I told him many times. I LOVE YOU UNCLE ROBERT AND I WILL MISS YOU.

My heart goes out to everyone in our family and to all those that love him and will miss having him in their lives. I know that I will truly miss my Uncle Robert. I can still picture him in his army uniform on one of his many visits to us in Brooklyn, NY. He gave me a few of his medals which I proudly wore on my blue pea coat. I will always treasure his visit to me here in Dallas, Texas. We had such a great time. He was a gentle, loving and giving person but also a strong and very proud person. Again, I will truly miss him. Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
