Raymond was 25 years old when he died. He left behind a wife and two beautiful children and an entire family of 2 brothers, 4 sisters, nephews, Step parents and a Mom who cried so much the first two years that she had no eyelashes left!! Raymond was addicted to Methanphetamines. He had struggled for over 8 years with this drug. He got tired of the fight and one lonely summer night he went into his backyard and hung himself in his gazebo. Ray will never know how much we miss him. He was so Precious to all of us. He was sweet, caring, very funny and just so important to so many people. Our lives will never be the same without him.
But, I now look forward to being with him again. Because I know that one day, wherever he is, I will be too. And to be honest, I Cannot Wait!!
God Bless you my Precious Boy!! Make me a place in Heaven with you and I will see you there.
Your Loving Mom

How will heaven be?
As far as I can see
It will have huge bells
And will be situated on clouds
It will have many golden wells
That will so often swell
Rain will be abundant
And the sun will shine all day long
Angels will play on the harp
The sweetest summer song
Music that will touch the heart
While those beneath will shed drops of sorrow
Little will they know what will happen on the morrow
But to them up above
As plain and clear it will be
As far as far as I can see
Yes there will be misty alleys
And lush green meadows
Fresh with the fragrant smell of spring
Winter will never be bitter
Summer never so hot
Autumn never so bare
And resources never so scarce
Food for all will be relished by all.
Grateful we’ll be as grateful can be
Mountains high and strong and brown
Surrounding that hidden land,
Beautiful and vast seas I see
There colour as blue as sapphire can be
And the white waves lashing upon the shore
Sitting on the flattened grey rocks
Who would not call it absolutely heavenly?
However it might actually be,
But can we still not see
There will lie behind this seen
A relieving feeling of bliss
For where not have we been
But is this not by all believed
That after one’s decease
This is the land of eternal peace
Where we all ultimately reach?

I Miss You So Much Raymond
I miss you so much. I can't believe it's almost been 10 years. Who would you be today Raymond? Would you be worried about Reana because shes entering her teen years? Would you be side by side with Ryan on your dirt bikes? We will see you again someday. I love you so much my son. And I always will.
Your Forever Mom
Tim 's Tribute to Raymond
A tribute to Raymond ,Raymond personallity was fun,I wish he was here,even thou he's not, Ifell he is near,full of energy,on the go,Raymond was the man you wanted to know,good hearted yet as strong as could be,I was always happy when he was... around me. Gone to soon is definitely the case,because a guy like raymond you can't replace.I'm glad for what we have that was left from him. Signing off for now your step dad tim.
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free,
I’m following the path God has laid, you see.
I took His hand when I heard him call..... I turned my back and left it all,
I could not stay another day, to laugh, to love, to work, to play,
tasks left undone must stay that way, I found that peace at the close of day.
If my parting has left a void then fill it with remembered joy,
a friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, oh yes, these things I too will miss.......
Be not burdened with times of sorrow, I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow,
my life’s been full, I savoured much, good friends, good times, a loved one’s touch.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.....
lift up your hearts and peace to thee, God wanted me now; He set me free.
For Mothers Day
Dear Mr. Hallmark
I am writing to you from Heaven and though it might appear a rather strange idea,
I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit your stores to find a card,
a card of love for my Mother as this day for her is hard.
There must be some mistake I thought, every card you could imagine,
except I could not find a card from a child who lives in Heaven.
She is still a Mother, too, no matter where I reside,
I had to leave, she understands, but oh, the tears she’s cried.
I thought that if I wrote you, that you would come to know
that though I live in Heaven now I still love my Mother so.
She talks with me, she dreams with me, we still share laughter too,
memories are our way of speaking now, could you see what you could do?
My Mother, she carries me in her heart, her tears she hides from sight,
she writes poems to honour me sometimes, far into the night.
She plants flowers in my garden, there my living memory dwells,
she writes to other grieving parents trying to ease their pain as well.
So you see Mr. Hallmark, though I no longer live on earth ,
I must find a way to remind her of her wondrous worth.
She needs to be honoured and remembered too,
just as the children on Earth will do.
Thank you Mr. Hallmark, I know you’ll do your best,
I have done all I can do, to you I’ll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her, how much she means to me,
until I can do it for myself, when she joins me in Eternity.
My Son, My Son............
Raymond, I miss you so much. Christmas is so hard to live without you. Some days I just don't feel like I can play the game. I want you back so bad. It's not Fair that your gone. You didn't deserve to die. None of us have deserved to suffer as we have over your death. Meth and all the other drugs are EVIL!!!!!!! Drugs are the Devil and let anyone try to challenge me on that. I'm IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Drugs took my baby Raymond. Yes he was 25, but he was still my son and my baby. He should be here today Christmas shopping for his children. He loved them so much.
Raymond, you'll never be forgotten, EVER!!!!!!!!! You will live FOREVER IN MY HEART and in my LIFE. We will meet again. Please be first to bring me in. Tell Mom that I love her too, she'll understand. She was a Wonderful Mom, but losing a child is So Horrible, she knows.
Until we meet again my son.
I Love You So Much,
Mom
Cherish Your Children
Raymond, I miss you So Much. I wish I would have Cherished you MORE while you were here. You were always so funny and cute. And I feel that I let you down and could have done more to help you.
Gosh, I am just missing you so much. A Mothers Love is so Strong. God Help me get through the rest of these years without you.
I Love You My Son,
Mom
My dearest loved ones,
Keep my memory with you,
For memories never die.
I will be there with you,
When you look across the sky.
I will be there in the clouds,
In the birds that fill the air.
In the beauty of a fragrant rose,
You will find my memory there.
You will feel me in the tenderness,
Of a tiny baby's touch.
You will hear me if you listen,
In the twilight's gentle hush.
When your hearts are heavy,
And you feel that you are alone.
Just reach down deep inside of you,
For your heart is now my home.
I will always be with you,
I will never go away.
For I will live on in your hearts,
Forever and a day

A LETTER FROM HEAVEN
My Dearest Family,
Some things I'd like to say
but first of all to let you know
that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from Heaven
where I dwell with God above
where there's no more tears or
sadness, there is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy
just because I'm out of sight,
remember that I'm with you
every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you
when my life on Earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me
and He said "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again,
you were missed while you were gone,
as for your dearest family
they'll be here later on.
Then God gave me a list of things
He wished for me to do,
and foremost on that list of mine
is to watch and care for you.
And I will be beside you
every day and week and year,
and when you're sad,
I'm standing there
to wipe away the tear.
And when you lie in bed at night,
the days chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you
in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on Earth
and all those loving years,
because you're only human
they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry,
it does relieve the pain,
but remember there would be no flowers,
unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you
of all that God has planned,
but if I were to tell you,
you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain,
though my life on Earth is o'er.
I am closer to you now
than I ever was before.
And to my very many friends,
trust God knows what is best.
I'm still not far away from you,
I'm just beyond the crest.
When you are walking
down the street
and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps
only half a step behind.
And when you feel the gentle breeze
or the wind upon your face,
that's me giving you a great big hug
or just a soft embrace.
And when it's time for you to go
from that body to be free,
remember you're not going,
you are coming here to me,
And I will always love you
from that land way up above.
Will be in touch again soon.
P.S. God sends His Love
Crystal Meth
Raymond was addicted to Crystal Meth. In his Suicide Note it Read, *I can't get off this Evil Drug*. I die inside everytime I think of it.
Karyl, one of my favorite people just sent this poem through the group I am on (Parents of Suicides). And I thought it was fitting for my Precious son's site. I know he would want to warn people of the Ravages of this Evil Drug as he called it.
I AM METH
I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
I take children and that's just a start.
I'm more valued than diamond, more precious than gold,
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.
If you need me, remember, I'm easily found,
I live all around you, in school and in town.
I live with the rich, I live with the poor,
I live just down the street, and maybe next door.
I'm made in a lab, but not one like you think,
I can be made under the kitchen sink,
or in your child's closet, even out in the woods,
If this scares you to death, it certainly should.
I have many names, but there's one you'll know best,
I'm sure you'ver heard of me, My name' Cyrstal Meth.
My power is awesome, try me, you'll see,
But if you do, you may never break free.
Just try me once, I might let you go,
Try me twice and I'll own your soul.
When I possess you, you'll steal and you'll lie,
You'll do what you have to, just to get high.
The crimes you'll commit for my narcotic charms,
Will be worth the pleasure you'll feel in my arms.
You'll lie to your Mother, you'll steal from your Dad,
When you see their tears, you must not feel sad.
Just forget your morals, and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.
I take kids from parents, I take parents from kids,
I turn people from God, I separate friends.
I'll take everything from you,
Your good looks, and your pride,
I'll be with you always, right by your side.
You'll give up everything, your family, your home,
Your money, your friends, you'll be all alone.
I'll take and I'll take till you've no more to give,
When I finish with you, you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me, be warned, THIS IS NOT A GAME.
If I'm given the chance, I'll drive you insane.
I'll ravage your body, I'll control your mind,
I'll own you completely, Your soul will be MINE.
In nightmares I'll find you when your lying in bed,
The voices you hear will come from YOUR head.
The shakes, the sweats, and the visions you'll see,
I want you to know, these are gifts from me.
By then it's too late, and you'll know in your heart,
That you are now mine, and we shall not part.
You'll regret that you tried me, they always do,
But you came to me, not I to you.
You knew this would happen, how many times were you told?
But you challenged my power, you chose to be bold.
You could have said "NO" and just walked away,
If you could live over, now, what would you say?
My power is awesome, as I told you before,
I can take your Mother and trun her into a whore.
I'll be your master, you'll do as I say,
Even when I tell you it's time to go to your grave.
Now that you've met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not? It's all up to you.
I can show you more misery that words can tell,
Come, take my hand, let me lead YOU to HELL!
