I remember going to PS 13 to pick up the kids & Ray was always there 45 minutes early. When I asked him why so early ? He said "so when the baby gets out she can see my truck & wont be scared thinking I'm not here". Shannon wouldnt be afraid , it was him who was afraid. He wanted to make sure she got home safe.Welll he did that for 6 years. Shannon ( the baby ) was in 5th grade & he still made sure she got home safe, lol. Shannon he loved you so much in life that I'm sure he is still watching over you in the after life. A bond like that can never be broken.

 wow where do I begin ...I have soooo many memories ....from day one ..the door was always open ( i loved eating and watching tv in the kitchen an having pop dukes walk in saying ..ur ass is still here!! lmaooo..I learned tough love the hardway lmaoooo(being thrown in the pool a thousand times) ( I can still hear his voice yelling.."RAYMOND LEAVE HER ALONE" )...my quick smartass answers I learned from pop (he always did say something that made ya jaw drop)..but most of all I never laughed sooo hard as I did while we were growing up..Your family became my family as mine did yours! I miss ya pop dukes u r forever loved and u left ur "mark" everywhere!! ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
