Our heart is breaking.

In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
we remember Ray
As the breakers of the ocean waters touch our feet as we walk the beach, we remember Ray....
As the waiter opens the Cabernet Sauvignon for the first taste, we remember Ray.....
As we watch the boats along the intercostal, we remember Ray....
As we see the cruise ships in the distance, we remember Ray.....
As we hear the business news  we remember Ray.....
As we go to the furniture stores and auctions, we remember Ray...
As we see finely decorated condos, especially those with beautiful blue umbrellas, we remember Ray...
As we watch the awesome display of fireworks over the ocean , we remember Ray.....
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
we remember Ray....
When we are frightened and in need of strength and courage,
we remember Ray....
When we are lost and need advice,
we remember Ray
When we have joys we want to share,
we remember Ray
So long as we live, Ray  too shall live, for he is  now a part of us,
as we remember Ray."
