    Dearest Ray, I know in my heart that it was fate that brought us together again after so many years. The last nine years we’ve had together have made dreams come true for me. I hope you were as happy as I was. I have always loved you, and I always will. I miss you so much, and Missy and LJ miss their daddy.

    I was Ray’s boyhood chum. We shared the adventures of emergence from teens to young men. We had our share of adventures, some hilarious, some unbelievable, some best not remembered, some quite amazing. Such is life, the great journey. Good bye my old friend. You are now part of the universe where none are forgotten and souls are free to roam.

    This is My Dad and I love him and he loved me! Ray had a Daughter and a Son, I’ve never met my half brother although I’d love to meet him one day! My Dad use to call me his PP (Precious Person) he showed me off all the time to everyone of his friends that use to work at some of his favorite restaurants. I remember him taking me to the circus 🎪 telling me stories and calling me when he got snowed in at a hotel in Montana. I have so many memories of my Daddy. When I went to visit him in Montana I let this lady named Sharron convince me that my Dad didn’t love me. He didn’t want me, and I didn’t mean anything to him and I believed her! When I’m fact that wasn’t the truth at all. She is a very hurtful mean, jealous Person and I Pray for her often. My Dad will always be My Dad and nothing and no one can ever change that! He’s in my birth certificate. He signed his name! And he wanted me and loved me! My Dad has 11 beautiful grandchildren that carry his genes as well and Sharron can never do anything about that. They love and miss him too! I wish I knew then what I do now. I wish I remembered his love for me while she was trying to convince me he didn’t love me. There’s a special place in hell for people like that. I love you Daddy always have and always will and no one can take that away. RIP Ray, your Daughter and Precious Person, Pamela.
