“Uncle Ray I will miss our phone calls and the laughter. I am heartbroken and I will be checking on Rae Ann. It is still hard to know you are gone. You will be missed but I know Aunt Sharon, dad and the rest of the Bilinski clan greeted you. Give them all a big hug. You were just like my dad looked stern, strict with the heart of gold. I will truly miss you. I love you and you will forever be in my heart. One very proud Marine!!!! Thank you for my freedom”
