My heart is deeply saddened by this loss. I hurt for his children and his family he has left behind. He was born 4 days before my son, and I took care of him in our church nursery. There was another baby from our church that was born 5 days after Ray. It was a bonding time with all 3 moms and our 3 newborn baby boys. In the 39 years I have always thought of the other 2 boys, even thought our lives have gone on to other places in life. I won’t be at memorial, but my thoughts are prayers are with you all. Big Hugs
