Mitch,

If tears could write the words I wish I could say I could write a novel. I would then send it to you in heaven so you could always be reminded how much I am going to miss you. You were more then a best friend to me, more like a brother that I never had the chance to have. My thoughts and prayers are with you every moment of every second of every day. I only wish you the best of luck in your after life and hope the ones you are with see the same great person we all had the opportunity to have in our lives. Keep smiling your rays of sunlight down upon us keeping our lives bright and safe. Tell those who you meet how great you really are and if they have any questions or doubts, tell them to talk to me. I know we will meet again and I hope the times are just as great. My tears and memories of you only build a staircase to when we meet again. The love I have for you as a friend can’t ever compete the love that I have for you as a brother. I will always be missing you.

-Ray

To the Davis family:
I hope all is well for you and will continue to be. The loss of a physical body can never destroy the millions of memories that will continue to provide smiles on your faces even in the worse of times. Keep strong, and if you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to call.
