Love You Your Sister June

Hi Ray,
It been one year since you passed away, and I miss you lot's. I think of the time I called you to help me find the way to places because I don't know my way around. I wish you were here to see Tony V. get married in Aug.(2009). You were so close to him and I now he would like you to be at his wedding. His so-to-wife is so wonderful, bright, smart, loving, caring, you would enjoy her and know they are a perfect match. I went to his church a few times and emjoyed myself. THe grandkids are getting so big. Jesse is 15 and going into 10th grade. Brittany is 14 and starting HS, so they keep me real busy and active. The others are so much fun. Sieanna is already 15 months and she is so adorable, independant and smart. She says over 25 words, colors and runs around like a 2 year old. She is so attached to "Papa" (Jerry). Well... Monica is spell checking my post to you, since I cry everytime I write and get all worked up. I love you so much and I miss you greatly. I do know I will see you again... Just keep watching over us!

Love Always,
Your sister June.

Dear Dad,
Thinking about you, sorry I wasn't
given the chance to say goodbye or tell you, you were loved.
Lucas grad. from high school in May,
he'll start college in the fall.
Wish you could of been there to see him.
I still can't beleive your not here.
But I know one day we will see each other again.
Your in all our hearts and prays.
Love Always,
Rose, Cindy, Sandy and Ray

Brother Ray,
I hope that this poem will bring some peace from all the pain:

Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am cool breezes on a warm sunny day, The refreshing rains that come in May. I am the rustle of Crisp Autumn leaves, The glistening ornaments on your Christmas trees. I am all of those smiles in pictures taken, In photos past, and those of future generations. I am the joy in laughter, the tears in your eyes, The love in your newborn babies' cries. I am the garden flowers that you tend for me, The ones you planted so lovingly. I am white butterflies fluttering by, Whenever you see me, be sure to say "Hi." I am the ducks in the yard, the birds in the air, The "Boys" you take care of now that I'm not there. I am the bluest of blues that you love so much, Now my children, have peace, please hush. For that is where I am, in all these things, I'm your Guardian Angel now, you've given me wings. Don't be sad, please don't cry. Your love gave me wings, now watch me fly.

Hi Brother,
I talk to Carol yesterday she called. She is doing ok. I told her Penny is coming out this month, we are going to see her. We are going to come see you and everyone else at the cemetary this month. I miss you and Mom a lot. Love you, miss you, say hi to everyone up there for me.
Love Always Your Sister June

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Hi

Rest in Peace

Dear Cousin Ray,

I'll always be grateful for our visit last week. It meant a lot to me to see you because I knew it would probably be the last time. I've heard many stories over the years about everyone trying to wake you up. Finally, may you sleep in peace.

Carol, my deepest sympathy to you,
all of Ray's children, grandchildren,
and all of my Lamping cousins.

Love, Penny

To My Brother-in-Law Ray,

I've always enjoyed your company. I always had fun with you. I will remember going to see Johnny Cash (Me, Junie, You and Carol). I will forever hold found memories of you.

Jerry

Jerry Norton

Uncle Ray,

Although we didn't spend much time together, you were always on our my minds. I wish we spent more time together. You have 6 great grand niece and nephews. Brittany is 13, Brandon is 11, Brianna is 8, Little Denny is 5, Matthew is 4 and Victoria is 2.

You are in our hearts!

Love,
Dennis & Wilma Norton (and kids)

Ray, Michelle and Zack, so sorry to hear about your dad. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Love, Pam

To my beloved brother Ray,

Everybody says, including myself, that life is too short and precious. I'm sorry for not spending more time with you; however, I know I will see you again in a better place.

I have many sweet memories of you close to my heart. There are few I would like to share. I remember when I was little and your family coming over to mom and dads house for Christmas dinner. I remember dad and you working on the cars in the driveway. The family picnic in 1977, and playing in the back yard softball, horse hose and enjoying a good meal. My funniest memory of you was, how hard it was to wake you up - sometimes Nancy and I would both have a pitcher of ice water and we would dump it on you and run down the stairs as fast as we could because you would jump out of bed chasing us outside, funny that was the only way you would wake up.

It’s hard to believe how fast our children grow up. My daughter Lisa is now 25 and she has three daughters Alexis is 7, Mersadies is 5 and Hailey is 4. I love being a grandma to three beautiful girls. It’s still hard to believe that almost 20 years later I would have a son. I've included a picture of your youngest nephew Kyle. He just graduated from kindergarten and is 6 years old.

My daughter and son had a terrific uncle.

For my sister-in-law Carol and your children, I give you my deepest sympathy and I have all of you in my prayers and thoughts.

Well Ray, I wasn't much on words either, so I'm done writing for now I'll miss you deeply.

I can feel your presence by me so this is not good-bye. I'll see you upstairs when it’s my turn to visit and tell everybody that I love them.

I'll always love you - your sister,

Ruthie Lamping

Uncle Ray - I wish we were able to spend more time together. You were such a wonderful brother to my mother and thank you for giving her so much love. Wish you were here to meet our newest addition "Sieanna Norton", 12th grandchild to your sister Junie. You are a wonderful uncle and great uncle.

Your time has passed her on earth, but we will meet again and our souls with unite and we shall sing.

My mom misses you so much - watch over her and your wonderful family.

Love you always,
Monica, Jesse and Sieanna Norton

My Brother Ray,
I will miss you alot and will always remember you. Still have sweet memories together from our childhood. You were always there for me when I needed you the most. I will be there for your wife when she needs me too. Love always your sister june.

Dad we will miss you dearly

Sorry for your loss
Rest In Peace Uncle Ray ~

Love,
Victoria Moore (Linda Lamping's daughter) Laguna Beach, CA

I am very sorry for your loss. Ray was a great person and will be missed by many of the people that he worked with. It was my pleasure to work with him at Chicago Turf and Irrigation. I will remember him always.

I can’t comprehend just how sad you must feel for the loss of someone you love.

This sorrowful time must still feel unreal and you’re looking for strength from above.

I hope, from my heart, that your pain will decrease, that your spirit will gain strength again, and I pray that your faith will create inner peace and that God will send blessings.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
