In memory of Ray Wilkerson...

I can't begin to express what emotions came over me this evening when I learned of Ray's passing.  My Mother-in-law, Vada, introduced Barry and I to Ray after Barry learned of his GBM diagnosis in May.  Vada has known Ray's mother, Ruth, for years.  I know that Ruth has been a source of strength for Mom over the last six months.  To the Wilkerson Family, although we never met, Barry and I felt as though we knew you very well.  Ray's blog gave us an insight as to what the treatments would be like and what challenges were to be expected.  Barry mentioned several times that Ray seemed to share the same personality traits as himself.  God bless your family.  May the memories you share bring comfort to you in the years to some.
