Uncle Ray,
Kaitlin MitchellI still feel as if im a little girl and dont completely understand what has happened. I dont think yet i have fully comprehend the thought that you are gone. I dont think i could ever forget the contiguous smile you had or the sense of humour you would use to bring a dull room to a room full of laughter. I will always remember the silly jokes you would play on my father and i could never forget your warm hugs or your little "chick magnet" i think that was my favourite joke of yours. I know so many things can happened in a short amount of time but im so glad i will always have the memory of the first time you met my son. Something ill always keep close to me. I will forever miss you and always keep you close to my heart. I love you forever and ever.
Ray what can I say you were like a brother to me growing up.The memories I share with Vicki of the fun walking to the pools at Granville with you and David and the not so much fun being tied up and threaten with fire from Graeme and you.I wouldn’t change any so many wonderful childhood memories love you brother you will always be in my heart

Brenda crofts mitchellIm not sure if i have a favourite memory.
Vicki Crofts OmullaneI have many memories all i love, some funny some serious and some devastating.
When we were growing up Ray was caring and protective if anyone hurt his sisters they would pay but he gave himself permission to trip.push and tie us to poles setting fire under us just a few examples of his love, harmless fun untill mum caught him lol..
Then when we got older i loved it when he bought his friends home i could have a great perve.
He married and had Leanne and Kelly will nver forget hoiw proud he was when they were born could not wipe tge smile of his face. When kelly was born he allways sang a little ray of sunshine i loved that song so much .i loved spending time with them all.
Then later on as kids got older i was involved in soccer with him at Bidwill heaps great memories there as well.
Then came Brad and Daniel 2 boys and 2 girls now proud as punch..
Then as we and kids got older family events were great memories with Ray.
I suppose what i am saying is each memory was my favourite untill I had another..
So my favourite memory would have to be the last words he said to me before he passed, I love you
Our memories are what we have left.
Vicki Crofts Omullane and Brenda CroftsA lesson we will not forget.
The time has come when time is no more.
And all that is left is once before.
The memories so dear and true.
Those memories of us and you.
Although we fell and stumbled at times.
All those hills were necessary to climb.
All the times when your heart shined through.
Are the greatest memories we have of you.
We will always remember you Ray brother of ours.
In our hearts we will keep you so we will be fine.
We will go forward with our head held high.
It might be hard we can not lie.
Love you to the moon and back
Brenda and Vicki ❤❤❤❤
