Your signs have been so loud lately, I feel you almost all the time. Ive become so much more aware of when you're around and when you're sending me messages. Im learning to understand that you want me to be happy and continue my life in the light of your existence as opposed to the darkness of your absence. I use you as my driving force to push myself to be a better person and to heal. I know I will see you again, I know you are with me in every single thing that I do and I know that you experience and feel things through me. Until I see you in heaven, I will continue to make you proud and live in the light of your existence. Although your death left a gaping hole in my being, and it will be there for eternity, I picture and look forward to the day you are holding me in your loving arms once again. My forever hero and best friend, I promise we will hug kiss hangout laugh together and hold each other again someday. The image of you being happy and radiating light and love with grandpa and nanny in heaven, and the fact that you are no longer bound to the evil chains that this earth had on you is what pushes me to keep going and keep my faith. I love you to death and your name and life will live on for as long as I breathe.

You are on my mind every waking moment.... I don’t know how I’m going to go on without seeing or touching or hearing you again.... I don’t know how I’m going to be without you for the rest of my life

Ray...so many things we will miss.
Holiday dinners when we could all be together.
You walking up the stairs with a tray of stuffed mushrooms.
The delicious meatballs that even grandma (my mom) said were so good. She was impressed with you, especially in the kitchen!
Playing cards and games after dinner...catching each other cheating in cards....telling some same old stories and we would all laugh just as hard as the first time we told them...and heard them. Laughed till we cried.
Grandpa’s gangster days that you enjoyed talking about.
The conversations about Jesus being our savior, no matter what.
You asking a Billion questions on a conversation till you had every single detail...a trait that you precious daughter Nic definitely inherited from you!
You fit in so well in our perfectly imperfect family!!
You and Jackie having a love that many would envy, not always easy but what is?
Facing life’s challenges that only drew you closer together. I could see when you were together that your love for each other was true and constant.
Lucky to have found your soulmates in each other.
Those of us left behind are sad only because you are loved and will be missed...but you now can walk with Jesus and look down to guide Nic and Jackie.
A friend would refer to this old Cherokee saying and it fits the way we feel....
“When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice”
God bless you Ray
Love Aunt Lorraine and Uncle David

A special guy and many family memories.
Holidays and you would make the delicious stuffed mushrooms...couldn’t wait for you to walk up the stairs with the big tray!
Even great grandma liked your meatballs and cooking...and that takes a lot.
Laughing so hard as we all played cards after dinner. All of us talking at the same time!! Our talks about Jesus being the savior...And then The stories we would tell over and over and we’d all still laugh every time.
You would get on a subject and ask a billion questions until you knew EVERY detail...Nic definitely inherited that from you.
It was easy to see that you and Jackie were soulmates, joined together and faced each joy and challenge side by side....right till the end.
People spend their whole life looking for that one true love...not always an easy love...but always a true love. You two have it...death doesn’t take that away.
The love you have for Nicolette....a twinkle in your eyes and an imprint in your heart...a gentle and loving daddy.
Uncle David and I agree that you just fit in with us...and I know our crazy family can overwhelm the best of them...but not you....you fit right in.
I pray for peace for everyone who mourns you. It hurts so much to lose someone you love...but somehow...those left behind here take one day...one hour..one minute...breathe in and breathe out...and then they find happiness in knowing that you walk with Jesus eternally and will watch over Jackie and Nic.
One day we will all be seeing each other again...that’s for sure!
A very fitting Cherokee proverb that I heard from a dear friend says....
“When you were born, you cried and the world rejoiced. Live your life so that when you die, the world cries and you rejoice “
God bless your soul Ray...love from Aunt Lorraine and Uncle David

May God give you all the strength you need to make it through such a difficult time. We wish we could have been with you but our grand parenting duties keep us home in New Hampshire.
God Bless,

My father touched the lives of every person he met. He had the most exciting, loud, and absolutely astonishing personality. He had the ability to light up every room he stepped foot in and cheer me up on the darkest of days. No matter what situation I was in he always knew exactly what to say and just being in his arms made me feel better. My dad was and always will be my biggest protector, supporter, and absolute #1 best friend. He has stood by my side and had my back in every single moment of my entire life and I have no doubt in my mind that he will continue to do so for the rest of my life. I will continue to make him as proud as he always has been of me and I will make sure to live up to his expectations of me, although I know that no matter what I do I would never disappoint him. I have so much of him in me and I am confident that my dad will live on through me. I am so blessed and lucky to have been touched by him and will love him with my entire existence until I take my last breath. I now have the most perfect guardian Angel who I know without a shadow of a doubt will forever watch over me and protect me in everything that I do. I will always and forever have my daddy by my side.
