Aloha Diana, Mona and Randy.
The seven years Ray and I were married were wonderful for both of us.
I am so happy he found you and love in his twilight years. Thank you for caring for him. He was an incredible person and deserved the best!

My goodness, it doesn't seem possible that it's been 12 years since Ray's transition. I think you, Diana, have been a real trooper during his illness, passing and getting on with life. You haven't left a stone uncovered! You are a great example to follow. Blessings, my friend. Dixie

Diana, my wishes for strength and clarity are with you, as you adjust to a different life, now. Ray was such a sweet and loving man and so embraced life... I'm glad that you two had the time together that you did! I know that you made the last chapters of his life the best that they could be - and I send you a warm, loving hug from San Diego.

Ray was a kind and trusting man. Nearly 25 years ago he gave a kid (me) a chance to work with him. He pushed me to be my best in my career as a building inspector. He was always there with inspiring words yet no BS. Ray is always with us in spirit.

To the friends and Family of Ray Begin,
Ray was an inspiration to me and he will be missed by the many who we met on his long and blessed life. I hope you find comfort and mercy in the coming days knowing that Ray was one of those special people that will be recalled as a hero for those who knew him or were just mere acquaintances. He left a lasting impression for me and those who live with PD by having a attitude that gave me encouragement. A quiet demeanor that showed me his inner strength. A gentle and kind spirit that showed his love for others will leave a legacy that will last for many years to come.
May God Bless You in your hour of need.

My dear Diana, I know God is blessing you, and Ray on his new journey. I admire you for your strength, you were the best advocate for Ray, and stood so strong for him, getting him the best possible care and treatment and tending to his wants and needs. I know this was invaluable to him. We will miss his presence, but we know he is still with us in spirit. In Love and Light, Dixie

Dear Diana and family, we are so sorry to learn of Ray's passing. We are so glad that we stopped to visit last spring. We enjoyed our games of dominos and were so impressed by how much he was doing and his positive attitude. Both of you fought a valiant fight against an overwhelming disease. You are in our prayers Al and Karen Bernard Janesville, WI
