I have many memories of Grandpa Ray, but this memory is the most important. He used to take me all around Michigan just to talk to me. He would ask what I wanted to do, I said "I don't know" but what I was thinking is all I want to do is spend time with you. He would want to go to the mall so we would shop. He would want to go in to one of our favorite stores called Justice. He would make me pick out a thing or two. He love to see me try on the clothes he picked out for me. He was so happy when we were home, that made me happy as well. I loved him so much, he loved me too. I have many more memories of Grandpa Ray that I will remember forever, one thing I will miss the most is hearing him calling me "midjet".
