My Brother Ray

A lovely tribute to a brother who was loved. The words tell that story well. Our loved ones do live on in the warmth of memories.

I am so sorry to read about the passing of your brother.
I know a lot about grief. Four years ago I lost my first wife. I have a lot of stories on the site related to grief.
Someone emailed me tonight asking if they could use one of them in a book.
The story can be found here.
Perhaps your sister-in-law may get something from this.

"Semper Fi" from the mom of a 39 yr. old Marine who served in the first Gulf War. And "Adeste Fideles" (O Come, All Ye Faithful") when it comes to remembering Ray. You've penned a fine tribute to the brother you loved so.
God bless you, Tom. I smiled reading your post. ~ Susan in Georgia

Hi Susan, thank you for your kind response to this piece about my brother Ray. I appreciate you taking the time to write. All the best to you and your son. Semper Fi.

Hi Tom,
No doubt Ray would be happied up after reading your loving tribute to him. It hurts deeply to lose a loved one, and brothers are so special. (I lost my only brother in 1986.) Thanks for sharing a few precious memories of your brother with us readers. Sounds like he was a fine gentleman with a splendid sense of humor, and such fun to spend time with as a child AND as an adult.
Keep on keeping on,
Sandi in FL.

" Only the Irish can laugh with tears in their eyes..." So beautiful a tribute, you got me to do so as well ! Thankyou, Tom. "God gave us our memories so we may have roses in December." Praying you always find roses. God bless.
