Nine years ago today your death broke a million hearts. We love you and hope you are in a better place than we are. The world has changed in so many ways and I only wish I could talk to you! Love you Bro.

Every year it really doesn't get easier. Every day I miss your words of confidence, making me feel as though I could take on the world. I had to take work off again but I'm not stable when your birthday comes around. I just miss you so bad. I miss everything we used to do together. Your movies sit on my shelf and it hurts to look at the cases knowing I'm still not ready to watch them yet. Your guitars in my closet. Safe and put up. I also had another dream about you. I just hope you're resting well. I hope that those in heaven are taking good care of you. I just miss you so bad. It's not fair. I love you so much. I just miss you. Its infuriating you can't meet Lyle. You really would've liked her. I love you so much dad. I hope I'll grow to just think about the happy things we did together in the future.

Miss you brother every day! This world has lost it's shine since you've been gone. Love You

There are so many amazing things about Ray, but first and foremost was always how much he loved Kathy and the boys! He was one of my best friends! He always knew when I need a little extra push!

My dad was always the funniest dude. He always knew what to say and whenever my brother and I needed him I felt he was always there for us. It hurts knowing he's gone, especially when Ronan tells me he misses him but I know he stays with us even when it feels like I'm alone. I love him and he was and still is my inspiration for when I hope to give him and my mother grandchildren. We all love you, Dad.

Ray has always been a loving and giving man. He always made time to listen as long as you needed him. Even as he was in hospice his sense of humor continued. Ray always wore Santa hats at Christmas time. I had an empty Pepsi bottle and he put the bottle inside his hat and said it was happy to see me. Such a loving and humorous man no matter what
It is a privilege to be your sister! Love you very much and that is forever! Jayne
