As some of you may know, our Uncle Ray spent the last six years in a hospital bed struggling to regain his motor skills. He was miraculously able to keep his signature positive disposition the entire time. He never lost sight of his goals and dreams, and you can be sure that he was cracking jokes until the very end.
     
        This afternoon, after putting up a heck of a  fight, our trooper Uncle Ray has finally joined his mother Sharon in heaven. While we are happy to say that he's no longer suffering, it's becoming apparent that the costs of giving him a proper burial are considerable. Because of his condition, he was unable to work or start a family; in general, he was unable to do the things that would leave him with some type of security after passing. 

        At this time, we would like to request donations to help put our Uncle Raymond Vincent Ayala to rest. No amount is too small to help our cause. Of course, as his friends and family, many of you have already done so much for him. By merely being in his memories, you gave him the strength to keep pushing in life. He never forgot a single person, and he could tell stories about all of us for days. We thank you for being apart of his journey with us. Let's celebrate him one last time and send him home.

Love and Thanks,
The Ayala Kids
