Dearest Ray,
My heart was so very saddened to hear you were taken from this world…  I will always remember fondly the summer pig roasts with our large extended family since my childhood…being the youngest of all of the cousins….I smile fondly when I think of your kind smiling face toward me and all the tender words you would speak to me since a small child…You were taken from this world far too soon but I know you were immediately ushered into the loving embrace of God and into the embrace of your sisters Brenda and Linda, your mother, my dad and other family members who have gone on before…May you dwell in love, peace and joy in Eternal Divine Bliss…
Love your “little cousin”,
Rachel Victor
