    My heart and prayers for you, Barb, and your whole family. I worked with Rainman for many years and considered him a friend. I will be offering a Mass, a Rosary, and a Divine Mercy Chaplet for Ray. May he forever be in God’s loving arms.

    I am SO SORRY that I cannot be there for the services. We will have a mass said at the Holy Family Shrine. I am so glad that we were able to laugh and reminisce with Ray just weeks ago! You are on my heart and in my prayers.
