    These words are mainly for Ray. Thank you for loving my sister for all these years and for taking care of her and for being one of the sweetest men I have ever known. Thank you for bringing laughter and love to this family. I / We are here for you and love you .Always. There are not enough or good enough words in my heart to express the love for all my sister is/ was . She was my "big sissy" and I miss her terribly already. She taught me so many things over the years. I love you sissy...........I love you. See you in Glory in just a sweet bye and bye.
