OUR DEAREST RAY : :
We Bought you a Big Mac today....
Your favorite....
Wish so much that you were here to eat it with us....
Ray...I find solace in the fact that you went to sleep happy and excited for
a new day....that you were full of passion and dreams and lived a crazy life full
of smiles and laughter....
I know that there is no end to you....perhaps your on your way to enlightenment right now...
Wherever you are know that you are admired...respected...loved and will now be
terribly missed...but never Forgotten...
Thank you
