Words by Ray
"One of the regrets I have felt was not being allowed to have an Epitaph on my memorial stone. I understand the ruling but I miss making a statement. So I'm going to write one here:
Here lies Ray Waterman
A gentleman
A Gentle Man:
Please shed no tears for me I have had a good and happy life and its time to say farewell. Say a little prayer for me and I promise to say one for each of you. Thank you all and goodbye.
God bless you all ! "
