"IN MEMORY OF MAMA RAY"

A butterfly lights beside us like a sunbeam And for a brief moment its glory and beauty belong to our world But then it flies again And though we wish it could have stayed...We feel lucky to have seen it.Author Unknown

SHE WILL BE MISSED

SHE LIVED TO BE 100 YEARS OLD. SHE WAS AN AMAZING WOMAN. JUST IMAGINE ALL THE THINGS SHE SAW CHANGE IN THIS WORLD. MY CHILDREN WERE LUCKY ENOUGH TO KNOW THEIR "GREAT-GREAT GRANDMOTHER" SHE WAS ABLE TO MEET THE FIFTH GENERATION OF RAY GRANDCHILDREN.

MAMA RAY IS COOKING BLACK EYE PEAS IN HEAVEN.
