SWIM THE SEAS AND FLY THE SKIES
WIPE THE TEAR DROPS FROM OUR EYES.
OUR LOVE FOR YOU IS NEVER ENDING
OUR BROKEN HEARTS CONTINUE MENDING.
THOUGH YOUR TOUCH IS OUT OF REACH
YOUR BEAUTIFUL SPIRIT CONTINUES TO TEACH.
A WHISPER IN THE WIND SENDS OUR THOUGHTS YOUR WAY
TO LET YOU KNOW YOU ARE WITH US EVERY DAY.
And now on this second year of our loss....
In this bitter sweet season, how we wish we could once more hear you say......
ALLEZ LE BON TEMPS ROULER
Love, Pop & Mom
I am simply a stranger wandering in (I hope not intruding) by way of the lovely memorial notices in today's Chronicle. As I reflect on my own losses, I often pause to reflect on others and their lives, especially when it is someone -- in this case your Ray -- who affected so many, so positively. Through this beautifully-designed site he has affected me positively, at a time when needed, and I hope you will accept my loving wishes and energy.
Mai les bons temps roulent dessus à nos coeurs pour toujours!

I have enjoyed this special tribute to a guy who clearly left an indellible mark on a lot of people, including one he never met. Thank you for placing the Notices in the Chronicle this morning and sharing this with others. From what I read, it's clear the positive mark Ray left on the world will continue to ripple for a long, long time. That is the sign of a meaningful and successful life. I wish I could have pounded a few coldies with him and felt what you all felt. It almost feels as though I have. Here's to Ray--may your great memories of him help you through these continuing difficult times.
