My dearest Ray.
Another Christmas and New Years
without you. I missed you so much.
I wonder so many things. Only God knows how I am feeling.

My dearest Raymond .. you would of been 30 today... And I am here with so much pain in my heart body and soul.
I have so many things going through my mind right now
At exactly 2:12 am Gizmo your beloved pet woke me up so sick. And it's hurting me so.. All I have been doing is asking God to help him.. help me...
To give me strength for I am going to have to put him to rest also. And to think that on your birthday in heaven today. Oh how I wish you were here with me..
Selfish of me as I think about it. Lost you and now my Gizmo. Like you use to tell me back in the day ..
That Gizmo was going to be my dog. It's like you knew..
Anyway today God willing on your birthday I am sending Gizmo back to you for he is suffering so much.
I can't handle seeing him like that. So I pray to God to give me strength and to remind me that this is a borrowed life. And this too shall pass .. or at least that's what I've been told..
It never does not for a minute since you been gone have I forgotten you and miss you like I miss you today. So please dear son ask God in heaven to give me strength to carried on...
Happy Birthday in heaven dear son and please take care of Gizmo when he is set free..
Until we meet again. Sending you hugs, kisses and all my love. ❤️❤️
love. Mom

Tomorrow will be the saddest day for me. I will try and make the best of it. Tomorrow will be 12 years that you were call home to heaven. And as I write these few words to comfort me in your memory..
All I remembered vividly the call I had gotten that you were on your way to the hospital and it's like I knew what was to be I had knelt down on the kitchen floor and had ask God to take me instead of you.
But it wasn't meant to be. For God had already set you free. In his arms where you were meant to be. I still to this day wonder why?
But who am I to question God and his destiny's? 12 years oh my I never thought I would last this long without you. My youngest son I still wonder. How you would of been. 12 years and not a day goes by that you are with me on my mind in my heart and thoughts. How much I missed you only God truly knows. I wish to this day for one last goodbye
A hug a kiss and a smile from you to me. The years have gone by so quickly. And I think that pain will always be deep in my heart. No matter
How many years will pass. Just needed to express that losing you my son
Was the hardest thing out of all that I've been through was losing you. I love you now and always.. Sending you hugs, kisses and all my love.
From mom✨✨

It's been 11years already and I miss you so much. I know you are happy in heaven with Grandma and the rest of the family. And this might sound selfish but only for a moment in this life I wish I could see you or here your voice. I wish I could hold. You and tell you how much I miss you and love you . Only for a moment in this life I wish it would happen. Love you my dear son it could be more years only heaven knows that no matter how many I will always be loving you and thinking about you . Sending you all my love hugs and kisses. And praying that you will get them in heaven.. Rest in paradise son.

As I sit here thinking what to write all I can do is just cry. It's been ten years and son I do try to keep on with my life. There a days that someone might see me and ask why do you look so sad? And there are other times when people will say what a beautiful smile . But my dear son just need you to know that 10 years have already gone by. It seems not so long for me when I got a call that you were sick to hurry to the hospital because you needed me. The first thing I did was kneel down on my kitchen floor and ask God to save you and to take me. I cry and cry but still didn't know that God already had you with thee. As I got up from praying to God I call your brother so he can help me. We rush to the hospital and after all was said they finally let me see your face. Laying in that bed without saying a word . I knew in that moment my life will never be the same. I know I must keep on with my life for I still have your brother and a grandson to make me feel alive. But son I just wanted you to know that that day you were. gone a piece of my heart my life my soul has never been the same. I have learn how to live day by day and have learn to trust in God again. But I have not learn how to put away the pain that I feel every time I think of the day I lost you. I never got to say goodbye so for now I will say so long until I see you again. I love you dear son.
Always in my mind heart and soul every. Minute and every second of my life until I get to see you and hold you in my arms again.
In your loving memory
Love you always Mom..

Remember you, Raymond, today, tommorrow, always !!! You were such a bright light of sunshine when you came to the pizza shop. Very sweet, kind, & loving. You are most truly missed.
My Special Teddy Bear forever...
July 23, 2012
I met you through your mom, Evelin, (Evie, to Dave and I) who was my friend then but is now one of my very best of friends, Someone I can call day or night with a problem or care or just to say I love you and miss you. I can't ask for more in a friend, I see where you got your compassion and love from and oh what I'd give to see you just one more time and give you your big teddy bear hug...mom picked the perfect song "Gone to soon", yes my dear you did leave us way to soon but the impression you have left on so many llives will live on until we all meet again. I will always remember when I would give mom a hug you would humbly say "can I have one too"? As if you had to ask my prescious teddy bear, I loved you then and love you now, that will never change, but the thought of you being one of my guardian angels helps me through each day be it good or bad is one of lifes most special treasures, I know your love is with me, always. My Love you will NEVER be forgotten and I carry a piece of you in my heart and although I miss you terribly and would love to see you one more time, I would not want you to leave Heaven and all its joys, just for a brief second for our own personal satisfaction, Your where the living waters flow, in perfect peace and harmony and best of all in the presence of your creator, how could I possibly be so selfish to wish you away for just a minute. God needed you more, you know he always takes the best first, you my teddy bear were one of the best and forever you will be MY SPECIAL TEDDY BEAR!!! Until we meet again...Melissa
