Ray's wife just called me to let me know that Ray is in the Hospital about 30 minutes from his home. She said that he is going to have treatments and that he is on morphine for pain. She said that he might no ever leave the Hospital. Ray wanted me to tell everyone on the forum. Ray has been a blessing to everyone on this forum. Everyone pray for Ray and Paule(his wife). Thanks occ

I'm blessed watching God do what He does best. I've had a few rough years, and I'm still not back to where I want to be, but I'm on the way and things are looking far better now than what they were!

I just heard from Paule(Ray's wife) and she said he passed away last night very peacefully
in his sleep. She is going to get her Brother to get on the PG music forum to read the responses. Paule wanted to say thanks for all your concern.occ
