Uncle Ray,
For as long as I can remember, you've always been a pillar in our family. I appreciate all of the laughs, love, support and guidance you provided to me and everyone else. We will always love and miss you. I know that you are smiling down at us all in peace.
Love,
Your niece, Tiffany.

"GOD LOOKED AROUND HIS GARDEN AND FOUND AN EMPTY PLACE.
HE THEN LOOKED DOWN UPON THE EARTH AND SAW YOUR TIRED FACE.
HE PUT HIS ARMS AROUND YOU AND LIFTED YOU TO REST.
WITH THE HELP OF HIS ANGELS, THEY FLEW YOU TO A HEAVENLY PLACE."

Thank you Ray, for sharing your smiles, your laughs, your incredible sports knowledge, your love and protection of our daughter/sister and your life with this Motown  family!  You were more than just the picture in the wallet that is share with co-workers and friends.  You were the other brother that debated and joked with us about the 2012 Tigers vs Yankees Series, and comforted us during our saddest time!  Love is eternal, therefore never ending!

Thanks for sharing your life with all of us!
Virginia, Kenneth, Kathryn & always Kim!
