Bonnie and Kristina,
We are so so sorry for your loss.
We feel blessed that our two families have joined and had the opportunity to get to know and spend time with Ray, we laughed and laughed every time we all got together. Ray always made us feel as if we always had been a part of your family. Pete and I will truly miss him.

So sad over the loss of my wonderful brother. David and I enjoyed so many fun times with Ray, you and then Kristina. So happy that he had so many happy years with you. He loved you so much. He is resting in peace knowing he will be with you, his soul mate, one day in heaven together once again. Love you and Kristina!
