A GREAT LOSS IN MY FAMILY

Last night my sister, Catherine Marie "Kaye" (Knott) Ray, passed peacefully from this world to the next at 11:05 pm with her husband, Richard, and myself (her brother) at her side.
Father Bob Ray is the brother of her husband, Richard Ray.
Most of the rest of the family joined us at her bedside shortly after.
She suffered from complications of a brain tumor, but fought it bravely as long as she could.
Amazingly she was alert and could communicate up to the last couple of days.
She was totally pain-free for almost all of the time she was dying. 
We are grateful.
