Missing you so much today. I am so thankful that we had the time we had and I love you more now than ever.  Rest In Peace  my love. 

Oh honey, how I miss you!
Today I found this card in your one year bible.  I gave it to you on our last trip to Bass lake, one of your favorite trips. I had bought this card because the picture had reminded me of us,
of how treasured I felt when you would wrap your hands around my face to kiss me. Even to this day I can still remember how safe and treasured I felt with your hands encircling my face...tilting it upward to receive your incoming kiss.  And the words written in 2014 still hold true...you are the best thing that ever happened to me and I am forever grateful for the time we had. 
Rest in Peace my love.

Well my love, we celebrated your birthday today with all of your favorites...family and friends, music, food, cookies and cake--we even invited a couple of birds.  We laughed and we cried and we loved. I will treasure this day and look back on it with love and a smile. You would have enjoyed yourself.

We have been friends since I was 5 and you were 7.  We shared countless adventures  together backpacking over the entire Pacific Northwest and Canada, you were one of my very best friends, the best man at my wedding, you are irreplaceable.  I will miss you for the rest of my life, and I will never forget you, never.      Byron Chesebro

I came across this somewhere and knowing that Ray is with the Lord, I can't but wonder if this is what he would say:

I see the countless Christmas trees,
around the world below.
With tiny lights, like heaven's stars
reflecting on the snow.
The light is so spectacular,
please wipe away that tear.
For I am spending Christmas
with Jesus Christ this year.

We miss you Ray!  Praying for you Ellie and the family.  May God's comfort, peace, and love surround you.

My memories of Ray will always be in my heart, my big brother in the Lord, Loved working with him over the years at Horizon & The Rock. His Heart for serving and love for the Lord was amazing, Prayers to you Ellie He loved you so much!!! 
Until we see him again........Love & Prayers, Joey & Lisa Francisco
"Life is a gift every day" XOXO

What an amazing servant of Jesus Ray was....he will be missed.  Our hearts and prayers are with you Eleanor!  We were blessed to serve alongside both of you!  What a gentle, kind friend Ray was to us!  Richard & Alison Orias

Over the past 56 years, while our lives sometimes took us down different roads, it was a privilege and honor to call Ray my best friend. It didn't matter if weeks, months, or even years went by, it was so easy to pick up right where we left off the last time we talked. Ray was loyal, loving, truthful, honorable and yes, sometimes stubborn. He wasn't complicated, unfriendly, or confrontational. Every day was special to Ray and lived knowing that tomorrow was not promised. He reminded everyone, including ones he just met, that every day is a gift.  He treasured his marriage to Ellie, loved his extended family, volunteered his time helping keep seniors safe, and led and enjoyed a full life. Ray will be sorely missed by anyone who knew him.

Happy New Year Uncle Raymond!
We miss you so much. You were such a great presence in our lives and we are so Thankful for you. Until we meet again, we love you!
Love, 
Javie, Taryn, Cecilia, Alex, Malia and Mason

Merry Christmas Ray!  We love and miss you so much!!  xoxo

Thank you Lord Jesus for the hope and peace that will continually keep Ellie and the rest of the family comforted through this time.
Ray IS more than a friend, and I love the way his smile continues to make me smile! His Christ-like example was an encouragement to everyone that had the pleasure of meeting him!
I'm continually praying for both the family and friends alike...

Dearest Ellie and family,
I am sorry for your loss. It is never easy to lose a loved one, regardless if they have lived a full life. One thing I will say is that "WE" should be happy and allow our God to take his son into his care where he will forever be at peace. When you become sad just remember this; the love and laughter he shared with all of you will live in you forever. My sincerest condolences to you and your family. May God help you find peace and strength to get through this trying time. With all due respect.

Ellie, I am not sure what to say.  I know you are one of the sweetest person I have ever known.  I know how much you loved Ray and he loved you.  I wish I could make everything better, all I can say is I love you and I hope you know how much you are loved.

To my darling Ray, I give thanks for the love we shared...and for your undivided love and support these past 30 years, 27 of them as man and wife... the best decision I ever made! 
I know not God's plan but I know that we are in His hands.  Rest easy, my love, until we met again. 
Your Mo

My dearest Ellie, words cannot express the sorrow and sadness in hearing of Rays passing. A lovely and kind man he was and he will always be in our hearths. He will be missed dearly. 
 I once read that, "Grief, is really just love. It's all the love you want to give. All of that unspent love gathers up in the corners of your eyes, the lump in your throat, and in that hollow part of your chest. Grief is just love with no place to go." I read this at a time when I was heavily grieving and it helped me. Please let me know if there is anything or anyway I can I can help you. My condolence to you and your family.

Ellie, I am so sorry for your loss. I love you so much and we are all here for you. *HUGS*

Dearest Ellie, I am at a loss for words. I know how much you and Ray loved each other. His love will forever be with you and yours with him, as you said, soul mates. May your memories stay vivid and warm your heart and lift your spirit. My heart goes out to you and your family. I love you my friend, my sincerest condolences.

Ellie, I am so sorry for your loss. I feel honored to be the one to help you and your family during this time. If there is absolutely anything I can do to help you please let me know.
