  4. So sorry to hear about the news about Ray.
    I will miss our chats. Always have great memories when Ray lived with Mum and I
    in Ulverstone, when he popped over for a ‘quick’ visit, and forgot to go back!
    I also hold close the times Ray and Lavena would visit me at the Austin when things were a bit grim for me.
    Sadly I am unable to watch the service, I’ll be on a plane returning home, after a funeral in Tassie. Love to all the family.
