    Kelly, what a beautiful memorial Ray had. As a mother, I don’t think I could have said those wonderful words, that you said! We praise God, that Ray is with your Mom & sister. What a wonderful story about Ray’s tattoo! God works in mysterious ways, doesn’t he? Prayers to you & your family at this time. 👍🏻💕🙏🏻

      Dear Kelly,
      God bless you and your family. You have all been in my prayers for some time now. After watching your latest video,I want you to know that even though I am very emotional right now, I can feel some relief knowing that Ray and our Heavenly Father, are together,and that Ray no longer suffers. I will continue to pray for you and your family. Just know that it will get a little easier over Time-- Precious Time friend...and that you will establish a New "Normal"in time as well. I'm sending you and your girls a virtual HUG and hope and pray for great days to come,for each of you. God Bless and love to each of you.❤

      Kelly, I was glad to see you back with a video.
      After what you've been through there is no date or time to get your "life back.". Live each day doing the best you can. Only time will help you heal and time takes as long as time takes. Do your best as we know you have been. This was too much hurt to rush to get your life back. May the prayers of so many continue to help you and the girls each day!

      I agree completely!! You grieve, but you go on for the girls, pretty soon it gets easier, you go on, but your still grieving, even years from now. I know from experience, especially when July comes around, I’ll start feeling really down, I’ll look at the date or something comes up & I realize..this July, it’ll be 56 yrs ago my 4 yr old brother died & a day later, it’ll be 27 yrs ago my cousin was killed. Sometimes I take a few days & stay hidden away, other times I just try & stay busy, be around others, especially my grandson’s, it’s always different & some years are more difficult than others.

    One thing that will help you and your girls is having each of you a blanket made out of some of rays clothes. Either his Sherrifs uniforms to his favorite shirts and hoodies. They will become your most loved and favorite blankets you own…when you are ready my friend ❤️

      Kelly Kayla and Alli, I pray for your healing but also for you each to find your new normal. I know for me and my daughter we grieved differently when my son took his own life Nov 2017. Even today some 6yrs later we both just have those days when we wonder just when will we feel normal. So I will say just give yourselves grace when yu need it and never let anyone tell you different.
      With so much love and admiration of your strength I will always pray

      Absolutely the worst thing to say to a grieving mother. I know because I am one. Someone said that to me after my daughter was killed in a car accident and that was 22 years ago. I have never forgot those words, "She would want you to move on." While my heart was literally just ripped out these were/are not the words of comfort to anyone who has just lost a child.

    I became a grief counselor after I went through my husbands passing ! Grief classes saved my life and my sanity I then got to the point where I thought I can do this and help others ! You are so real so insightful so smart! The history is a long hard journey that you will continue to grow through it is not easy… but we hold you near to us in prayer 🙏

      I noticed that, too. It seems she has a peace - that peace that goes beyond understanding. Kelly, your updates and ALL your videos are uplifting, real, relatable, and YES YES YES - you've helped me feel less alone in my own sufferings. The worst feeling is isolation, having no idea if life will ever feel worth living again. It's a true gift to hold each other up and understand that we still have a purpose. My prayers are with you as you travel through the grief. Thank you for sharing it all.... especially the hope and that you're "still here". ❤❤❤

    Kelly, I have been a follower of yours for years now. And from the time you told us about Ray I have been silent, not having words as a Mother who can’t begin to imagine your pain. I’ve sat in silence while shedding tears for you and your family because I had no words to comfort you. But.. Today I have to say I’m literally sobbing and blowing my nose when you spoke of the watch. Not only showing just how much he loves his Mom… but also the sign he gave. You are an incredibly strong woman! Bless you in this Journey as you adapt and learn a new way of life.❤️

You will find the changed you, and you will begin to embrace a you that has even more compassion. That is the gift we are left with . Your updates were wonderful, his service.... I am so happy you shared that with us. I went directly to therapy....I needed tools to navigate losing our son. So helpful. Every day is different, grief is unpredictable....you just journey through it. This is so fresh and tender right now..... Days will get better. As he would WANT for you.

Much gratitude for including his beautiful memorial service. I had intended on sending you a comment, with lots of love and light, but I got sick for over 2 weeks. Then tonight I saw your beautiful face and felt so much need to let you know, how much I admire you. You are strong beyond belief. What a great mother. I have been praying for and sending light to you and your beautiful family from the beginning. I will continue to do so. You have taught me so much. You are a wonderful gift to the world. And I feel lucky to share this time on earth with you. 🙏🏼🫂🙌💞💫🦋
