thru the years you have showed love compassion and laughter. I will never forget when u were there for me as a little girl and a grown woman struggling to find myself and help me realize its not the label of sister,brother or aunt,uncle or neice,nephew or cousin it is who you are inside and how you love who you are and the people around you.things have been difficult at times but you will always be the big brother to me at 9 10 11 yrs old going to my soccer games and rooting for me.that will always be in my memory so proud to have you there. as an adult you have helped me thru more things then i can count and my daughters will always love you for everything you have done advice that you gave and just plain being there to talk to when they needed it most. my daughter tricia couldnt have said it more perfectly in her poem. We love you Ray you will be in our hearts forever, Michelle, Tricia,Brandi, Kayla Randie Brookelin and Joey
