The last time that I saw Uncle Ray was at my Dad's funeral. At the cemetery, as I was getting up to place my hand on the casket, for a final goodbye, Uncle Ray handed to me, a red rose, to put on the casket. This seemingly small gesture was not small to me. Even though I was not afforded the kindness of being able to see my Dad in the hospital, one last time before he died, the kind thoughtfulness of Uncle Ray helped to lessen the hurt and pain felt. Thank you, Uncle Ray. You warmed my heart. The warm and loving hug you gave to me then, meant more than anyone could imagine. As I hugged you back, I believe you knew that. You and your kindness, I will never forget.
