Uncle Ray was my Dad's best friend, the one who shared every celebration and the one to help ease every burden. We were so blessed to have him part of our lives. My last memory of Uncle Ray is the one I will happily keep close to my heart forever ~ After Mom's funeral, this time of year five years ago, I sat down to chat with him. He told me that the song she had chosen for her service, "Abide With Me" reminded him of Brooke and "Old Ern's" wedding. He got that twinkle in his eye - you'all know the one - and went on to say that the poor organist had to play that song over, and over, and over, and over, because, for some reason, the best man was late getting to the church. Then he started that low, deep chuckle that couldn't be contained, and we both laughed ‘til we cried. He will be missed. The love he generated and shared with Aunt Chris, Andy, Cindy and Becky, and their spouses and his grandchildren and his nieces and nephews will continue. His legacy is love.
