Hello Marg,
I was a fellow Chaplain with Ray, and maintained my connection with him throughout my ministry with ACCESS over the past 10 years.
I was honoured to represent Chaplains at Ray's farewell morning tea form ACCESS.
I would be pleased to attend Ray's funeral, and wondered if this would be ok, or if you were hoping to keep it a smaller, family and close friends affair. I am happy to respect your wishes in this.

Dearest family of Ray, Ray was my oversight when I was a chaplain in Bendigo. The day he was diagnosed in 2/2009 he came to an interview to support me. I will never forget his encouragement, love, respect & commitment. It truly made an impact on me, this was the day he was given his future outcome, & he was more concerned about me! My heart goes out to you all, Ray was an amazing person & will be remembered forever.
Love Janine (Lakes Entrance )

Dear. Marg and family,
Ray was a friend and mentor to both my children on their journey at MRC and through his guidance and compassion helped them through some difficult times. Both have grown into beautiful people who I am so proud of and Ray played no small part in that. Ray touched so many lives and the world is a much better place for that.
All the best to you all
Andrea, Greg and family

Dear Marg and girls,
It is with much sadness that we read of Ray's passing. Ray helped us through a very difficult time when our son Rhett passed away 11 years ago. Ray was a beautiful man who touched us deeply. It is with regret that we are unable to attend his funeral. Rest in Peace Ray.
All our love
Julie and BJ - Maryborough

Dear Marg and Family.

Thanks for sharing Ray's life with us all today, I was so glad to see so many people there today. Ray made such a difference in the lives of so many students at Maryborough Regional College me included. When ever he would walk past he always said hello with a big smile, and always asked how we were. He will never be forgotten.
