Raymond is my first cousin. It is a gift from god to me that I was related to this kind, quite , loyal young man that has departed the family far too early. We played together in Texas, Louisiana and Arizona and he will now live with in my heart and soul until such time that I can hold his hand again. I was privileged by God to be his cousin. God will make his face to shine upon him and he now has peace.
Our sympathy to the Davis Family for your loss of Raymond Lee. May the Lord guide you through this difficult time.

Bob, Louise and family. Sincere sympathy in the death of Ray. We’ve been praying for him since the start of his medical troubles, but now it’s all in God’s hands. I’m sure he is up there looking down on us, and praying for us now. Ray was a very nice person to know and Tom and I enjoyed talking to him last April when we visited your home. Just sad he had to leave us at this young an age. But he is out of pain now. Hugs to all of you.
Bobster and Louise, I send my heartfelt, deepest sympathy in the passing of your beloved son Raymond. To lose a child is one of the hardest things a parent can endure. I’ve known Bob who I call “Bobster” for about 11 or 12 yrs. and we are good friends. I come from the Maritime Provinces, New Brunswick on the east coast of Canada but we got to be great friends and share many events that went on in our lives. He told me about Raymond having cancer and was calm and dear about this happening..he has a great deal on his plate. My Prayers go out to him and his family very fervently. I have one son Robbie who lives in Montreal and who I visited a few weeks ago and I know how Bob and Louise feel about Raymond. He is with God and not suffering and happy again. Be strong my dear friends till you all meet again. I weep for you.
Love and hugs.

Oh Bob, Texas Bob–We are so sorry to hear about this!–Youy and Louise will miss him a lot!—Thank-you for letting us know
I first knew the dad of Ray in the year of 1999. Then Ray and me have become a kind of net friend and started talking from time to time on the icq. I met Ray in person in 2004 when I paid a visit to his papa Bob and I met Ray almost everyday during my 2-week-stay to his parents. He was a nice and gentle guy and I paid him home visit as well. On the last day I stayed in Crowley, we went for the film show of ” The day after tomorrow”. My deep condolence to Bob and Louise. I hope the family can stay calm and be strong. R.I.P. Ray, you will always be remembered by your loved ones.
I am glad that Raymond is now pain free and at peace. I will remember the time we have spent with him and we will always cherish the love and support of the Davis Family.
I remember his wonderful smile (that he got from Uncle Bob), he carried it well it was as warm as a fireplace at Christmas.
I will always remember his kindness and support during the loss of my father Doug.
Please let us know if we can do anything for you. You are all in our prayers

Too lose a child is hard, have been there.My thoughts are with you today and I hope peace over comes you.Ray is pain free now. God bless you and Louise I love you two. Ann Barnes
I will miss Ray so much! He was a wonderful man. I am happy he no longer has to suffer and I know the good Lord will take good care of him.
The thing I will miss the most is: when I would be baking cakes, he loved to eat the any parts I did not need. Ray loved to eat period, and our family enjoyed sending him home with left overs.
I am so glad we had a chance to have him in our lives. When I think of him, I remember his smile!
Cousin Ray – I will miss you so. You were the best pony a little kid could ever have.
“Todo el que crea en mi , aunque muera vivira”creemos en la promesa de Jesus y estamos seguros que solo se nos adelanto y que hoy se encuentra disfrutando el amor y la cercania del corazon misericordiosisimo del Padre .Lo recordamos como uno mas de nuestra familia aqui en Chile ,regalando-nos su dulce sonrisa y su sensillez ,admiramos la grandeza del afecto que se prodigaron con Vivi durante tantos años .

Cuchito,
Our poet, Neruda, asks… How many times does a man die
And I have my answer… You will never die in my heart and in my life.
I treasure all the moments we shared all these years and I thank God for allowing me to be close to you when you most needed help and company. Thank you for being the man you are, thank you for the values you got from your parents and thank you because I can be proud to be your friend… the one you will be taking care of from Heavens.
We will meet again and you will HAVE TO make those popcorns for me… until then… I hug you with all my love.
Bob and Louise,
Please know that these past 14 months that Raymond was battling cancer, he was in our thoughts and prayers. We prayed for healing, but that was not to be. It is our prayer that our Heavenly Father will receive his soul into his Heavenly Kingdom and give you His perfect peace.
You are still in our prayers while you greave the loss of Raymond.
We send you our sympathy and love,
Curt, Thelma and Jeanne
