You know the picure i have in my head is when Raymond lost alot of weight, looking quite buff, actually. He came outside to show me how much he had lost, he was so proud of himself and i was happy for him -he looked great! That must be the picure he wants me to have of him because that is the one that keeps popping in my head. I am still sad but I know strongly that he is happy now, so happy.

February 28, 2010

If I should ever leave you whom I love
To go along the Silent Way, grieve not,
Nor speak of me with tears, but laugh and talk
Of me as if I were beside you there.
(I'd come-- I'd come, could I but find a way!
But would not tears and grief be barriers?)
And when you hear a song or see a bird
I loved, please do not let the thought of me
Be sad... for I am loving you just as
I always have... You were so good to me!
There are so many things I wanted still
To do-- so many things to say to you...
Remember that I did not fear... It was
Just leaving you that was so hard to face...
We cannot see beyond... But this I know:
I loved you so-- 'twas heaven here with you!
In one of the stars, I shall be living.
In one of them, I shall be laughing.
And so it will be as if all the stars were laughing when you look at the sky at night.

Melissa Roth-Byrd

Uncle Ray, you will be greatly missed, we love you very much. I am glad that you don't have to feel anymore pain or suffering. One day we will all meet again to celebrate the lives we lived. RIP and Fly free with the eagles.
