    We set off to New York to celebrate special events with David and Yvonne and my sister Clare.

    We all miss you very much and as you would have been 60 this year, you had to have a special birthday trip in all our hearts too.

    You are with us everyday. We all miss you terribly as we approach that second anniversary of your passing too.

    Love you Ray from all of us. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

  • Mum and Heidi go to Madrid

    Death

    CoolYes we are finally going to celebrate Heidi's birthday in style by going to Madrid for a long weekend. Look out for photo's on return too.

    Its not just the missing you, its the finality of it all that is difficult to come to terms with. never hearing your voice, kiss you or holding your hand. We were a tactile couple and its hard to let that go. Only you and I can understand that special bond we had. My very special man, I was one very very lucky lady, to find my soulmate.

    As the sunrises everyday, my heart lifts with it, as it sets my love for you follows it and awaits another day......I carry your love everyday in my heart and I will never lose it.

    Lots of love darlingKiss

  • Just thinkin' of you mate.....

    Death

    ...........I'm sat here, bogged down with life as normal, but casting my mind back to the great times we all had together, the hurdle of life at present does'nt seem that important. I miss our long chats and laughs, I often think of you, especially when I'm alone. I wish we could've spent more time together, I Had big plans for "Man Utd Jolly Boys Outing reunions" but without you mate it just wouldn't be the same, I'll keep my memories safely stored for when It's time to tell the kids about the good old days with Uncle Ray in the "Black Carlton". They often talk about you too and nothing gives me greater pleasure than to spend time talking about our times together.

    Anyway, just thought I'd drop a line and check in......

    Miss you more than ever mate

  • How I remember you

    Death

    Ray I remember you just like this

    Big in stature, a beard worn neat

    A tidy dresser from head to feet

    Always smiling, never a frown

    Office joker, bit of a clown

    A loveable chap with a cheeky laugh

    Big list maker, nothing by half

    Loved bright colours it suited your mood

    A friend to me Ray you were never rude

    A family man with values so high

    Honest and true, never would lie

    Loved ones photos around the place

    I see them now, a smile on my face

    You were taken from us too early its true

    To lose such a good man as decent as you

    We miss you so much I would just like to say

    A void so empty since you passed away

  • Race for Life 2010

    Death

    On Tuesday 20th July 2010 I took part in the Race for Life. I had been doing a 'bit' of training - in between revision, driving lessons and TV! We travelled to Houghton Hall Nr Kings Lynn, where there were about 2100 females all about to start the race.

    My friend and I decided that as we hadn't matched the land speed record of anything faster than a tortoise, we would walk and jog the 5km track. I was quite nervous as this was the first time I'd taken part in anything like this - after all Mum said I would suddenly become 'really poorly' when it came to sports day at school! But the countdown began, and the crowd started to move. As I went past the start line I could see my family cheering me on (ever heard my mum shout? - omg! - really embarassing!!) anyway, I knew that after the first km her voice would fade into the distance!

    The ground was pretty rough, and there were lots of animal poo's to dodge!, but after 47 minutes of effort, and thinking of the £348.50 I had raised, I crossed the line - sweaty - tired - wobbly legged - emotional. But proud of myself, proud of my supporters, and proud of the man I carried around the course with me on my back, the man I felt kick me up the backside when I was getting tired

    - I did this for Ray. xxxx

  • Uncle Ray

    Death

    Ray you were such an inspiration to all my family with your knowledge, laughter & love that you gave to us all, everyday I think of you & realise that you must of been chosen by God to spread all the knowledge, laughter & love you hold to others someplace else, as I can not understand why such a lovely man has been taken from us otherwise.

    I was thinking what could I write that would explain how wonderful you were to your own family - Wendy, Heidi, Clair, Graham, Mark, Lily & Poppy but there are so many words & reasons to why the list was endless, so all I can say is for those people who really knew you they would have a good idea what the list would of read.

    I was reading my magazine the other night in bed & I came across an advert about Vosene shampoo & I had to laugh because this must of been the very first aroma I remember from entering your bathroom. I can always remember now it was so important to you to protect the girls from everything, it's certainly paid off as they have developed into such lovely women because of all your time, love & support throughout the years. Wendy my sister, who became your wife, in which you did exactly the same as you did for the girls, you gave her a good life & protected her too which I can't Thank You enough as she is a fantastic person & deserved a good life with someone like yourself.

    I know one thing Ray you'll never be forgotten as you are in my heart & in my thoughts every day & you are sadly missed.

    Sorry it's taken me so long to write this but part of me still feels you're here & I'm going to hold onto that thought as it keeps me going.

    One last request, please carry on watching over my lovely sister Wendy as she loves you much & misses you so very much.

  • The Uncle I never had


    Dear Ray

    From my first day at work you were always there to guide and support me. You cared for all of us office girls and gave the best hugs when we needed them the most. If it wasn't for you I wouldn't have coped when I got down, you knew exactly how I felt and what to say and do. I wish I could have had the chance to do the same for you. You meant the world to me and the girls at FDC the world is a darker place without you, the uncle I never had. God bless Ray you will be the brightest star looking over your wonderful family xx
