North Shore Oahu
This was taken at North Shore Beach in Oahu. It was Ray's favorite beach in Oahu. He woke me up real early that morning so that he could take me there to see the sunrise. . Ray was such a romantic. We enjoyed watching it rise together at our favorite place. Ray found that stick and for whatever reason wanted his picture taken with it. Ray was funny in that way. He always made me laugh. I'll have to go back there one day with Ashley. Ray would love that. I miss your smile Ray. Your memory will always be with me. Carla
Baby AJ and Uncle Ray 1994
Another one of my favorite photo's, taken in Studio City, CA in 1994. This my son AJ Michael DeMayo at about 4 months old, with his Uncle Ray who came to visit and stay with us for a few days.
Uncle Ray and AJ had a very special relationship, Ray would entertain AJ for hours we had an airplane swing on our patio that AJ loved, and Ray would swing him in there and tickle him. AJ enjoyed every moment!
Ray had a way with little children, because Ray never lost that fun we all have as little kids. That is something I loved about my brother Ray, he never allowed himself to grow up too much, he left the fun in life and lived to the fullest.
I am so grateful to have had a brother like you Ray.... Really missing you today xxoo
My Brother Ray ~ My Wedding Day '92
I will never forget....
Then at the wedding with all that goes on, it's hard to catch the bride she is running around, kissing, hugging and thanking everyone for coming.. He came up to me and grabbed me and said - I am so happy for you Teresa, and I love you.. Lucky for me there was the photographer, and with a smile, the picture was taken and today and I ever so grateful... Love you Ray my brother, my friend to the end... Your lil sis xxoo
