To Betty and the Wilcox family:

I am honored and blessed to have known Raymond. I first met Raymond when he arrived at the Albany County Nursing home. I when to his room and introduced myself. I told him he reminded me of my step dad he smiled. As I get to known and cares for Raymond he's a wonderful loving caring person, he speak so highly about his sis Betty that he adores and his wonderful family.
I remember one day Betty came to visit him, and I said to him Ray do you remember my name, he said no, as I turned away to leave his room he yelled out Nikki. I was so happy to hear he called my name for the first time. We all started laughing just to hear him said my name with a smile on his face. I said to him Ray wow you made my day. Your presence will surely be missed.

Please extend my sincere sympathy to your wonderful family. God bless you i'll keep you in prayer.
