Hi Kelly Big Hugs 🤗 I’m not understanding why people think it’s their business to ask such personal questions??? What you choose to share with us is more than enough!! Come on folks mind your business.
Agreed. I meant to add a comment on that, too. People can be nosy. Asking why his wife this or that was their way of being nosy and finding answers to questions they had. It's really rotten. No one needs to know anything unless you choose to share it. Some people feel entitled to ask things or stick their nose in where it isn't appropriate.
It seems people are never taught what respect is all about. I’m a “boomer” and I learned early how to mind my own business. I think others who demonstrate such poor manners have not lost someone close. To lose a child is beyond devastating and just the fact that Kelly is willing to let us in to her heart is a gift. God bless you and yours. 🙋♀️🙏⚔️🛡️🔥
Sending hugs… and praying for peace and serenity for you and your girls…. You’ve been on quite the journey…. A journey no Mother should ever have to endure…. You’re doing everything with such dignity….and thoughtfulness…! Thank you for being so vulnerable and sharing such devastating part of your life… you are such an incredible inspiration to those that are suffering through a life changing loss of their own… you’re going to be ok my friend 💕
That was very generous of Ray to leave those things to Kayla. I know some people are curious and have good intentions, but we are not entitled to personal details. You and your girls can hopefully do more healing through this process. Thank you for the update, Kelly.
You are helping me deal with my husband’s pancreatic cancer journey…he is home with my son and I as he spends his final days surrounded by the things he loves. Thank you and God Bless.
Am I the only one crying at this? It brings back sad memories of the day we’d come to decision to clear my sisters clothes out of our joint wardrobe. She was only 14 so didn’t have anywhere near as much as Ray had to clear, part of a wardrobe and 2 drawers. It’s no one business what you or your daughters do or when you do it. We are just privileged that you give us a snapshot of your lives and I know you do it to help with your healing process but it also can help others here too
Kelly, I feel your pain. We just last week reached the first anniversary of our son’s transition to Heaven. Oh how I miss him. But there’s a song that’s put all this in perspective. One line goes, ‘I’m not really gone, just gone on before.’ We’ll see our sons again, Kelly. Just hold on til God decides our time here is up. What a day it will when we see our savior and our sons as well! ♥️🙏🏻
We lost our youngest son 11 yrs, 8 months and 3 days ago. As time passes, grief changes. Not easier, just different. I also believe we will be together one day.
In September it will be 12 yrs that I lost my son. The right time is when you do things. No one can tell you anything different. You & the girls do things when you are ready! 🙏
Oh Kelly, I just want to send a hug and love to you. My son passed as a child; it’s never easy. Grief is a lifelong process. Know that the love you and Ray shared is still alive. Sending blessings and love to you and the girls ❤❤❤❤
What an amazing thing you did keeping Rays pictures for all those who entered to see! I was unable to sell my dad’s belongings, what wasn’t given to family and friends was donated to The Coffee Bunker ( for vets). I’m glad you were able to get this part of the process with courage and grace. It won’t be very long until the house is rented, laughter once again brings life and love into the home. You have brought honor to your son, gentle hugs, my friend. A thought on the pool table, perhaps there is a game room/officer relaxation room at the sheriffs office where Ray used to serve. What a great tribute and joy for them to be able to unwind after a long day, play a game of pool in memory of their dear friend Ray.
One day at a time. I think that it's awesome that Ray thought about taking care of Kayla. The way he lived is a testimony about what a wonderful mom and person you are.
What got me is when you talked about Ray at his desk...my 31 year old son has stage 4 cancer. He lives with me and spends alot of time gaming with his brother that lives in a different state. I realize there will be a time he will not be there. I hope when the time comes I will have the grace to do what you have done.
People “STOP ASKING PERSONAL QUESTIONS”!!!! It ISN’T any of YOUR business!!! Are those the questions you would want to be asked or have to answer. Kelly, you and the girls are going to be ok. Take your time healing. You have come a long way already. Y’all have wonderful memories, that is what is important not the things. NO ONE can take away your memories. PLEASE take care of yourself!!! Sending you and the girls a “bunch of hugs.” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My son died of brain cancer 4 years ago ago at the age of 33. I’m having a hard time of it! I wouldn’t wish it on anyone! Losing your child is the worst thing anyone could ever go through! God Bless any parent who has ever lost a child!
Thank you for this video…..I lost my son 8 months ago. He lived 1500 years away. We sold his house last year with furnishings. His personal items were shipped to me. I still can not go through the boxes. You have given me strength to maybe be able to go through them soon.
Now I am getting mad. It is absolutely NO ONE’S business what you and your girls with anything of his. I know it is devastatingly hard and sending you all love, light, strength, nd prayers as you go through everything. Kelly you don’t owe anyone an explanation. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sometimes people honestly care - not meaning to be hurtful or cruel; maybe trying to deal with their loss/pain. We never know. I hope anyone who intentionally made malice comments towards Kelly & her beautiful family, never have to walk through her pain. It’s beyond crushing! It doesn’t end! We pray for strength, & to see the light of life through the pain & darkness. God bless Kelly & her beautiful family. God bless everyone who comes here to offer them love & support. God bless those who make comments, whether intentionally or not, that hurt Kelly & her girls. And, God bless those who have suffered the unimaginable pain of losing a (grand)child of any age - a dear loved one. I don’t believe the heart ever completely heals. That’s the part of our heart where our loved ones live on. They’re holding that part of our heart together for us. I have to believe in us, Kelly. Please feel all the love. I promise you it’s filled with hope, faith, love, & a promise for tomorrow. You are loved dearly❤️
So hard. I couldn’t do it. I told my husband that I couldn’t go into the house my son died in. Fortunately he honored that but the day I had to sign the papers when we sold his house was absolutely soul crushing. I honor your courage and strength.
I believe that Ray will always watch over you and his sisters. Know he is with you and approves of the decisions you are making for his belongings. I can't imagine your pain as a mom. But your strength is awe-inspiring.
It's very hard when you are cleaning out a loved ones belongs. I've had to do that with my sister and then my mom. Take your time, take a break when you need to. People don't realize that you're walking thru someone else's life and you'll discover things that your loved one never envisioned someone else would see. Be kind to yourself and never let anyone tell you how long you're allowed to grieve or what your grief should look like. We all grieve in different ways. I shall keep you and your family in my prayers ❤
Wow so caring of Ray to leave his house and car. That was so thoughtful of Ray and it shows his sister how much she is loved by him. Do everything on your time when your ready and let the ray's of sunshine shine down on you all and paw babies. Ray loves you all so much as you all love him. 🌞❤🌞❤🌞❤
First, I want to say of all our warriors here on earth parents who have lost a child of any age are the strongest..........May peace find you all again 🌄
Kelly, I'm so sorry you got hurt and need surgery. Hope it goes smoothly for you. Thanks for sharing this part of your journey with us. It's so hard, but hopefully it will help with healing. ❤
This video was heartwrenching for me to watch. We know that we can't take our things with us but it's not easy to let our loved one's property go bc it makes us feel like we've lost them all over again. I think you should take his gaming chair to your house so that he'll have a place to sit when he comes to visit😊
Kelly, you are incredibly brave, sharing this all with us. It couldn’t have been easy, but It feels as though it has been a part of your healing process. I’ve not been in your position but do have children and want you to know my heart is full of love and compassion for you and your daughter. Please walk away from the noise people speak, and walk your own path through this grieving journey. Thank you for sharing this with us, and please take care of yourself, as you’ve taken care of us in the past. ❤
There are some beautiful memories waiting to be made with Kayla in the house. Only to be combined with memories of Ray. It will be a House of Memories!! Prayers for you and the girls.
Kelly!!!May the Lord comfort you and give you strength and peace! Prayers for you and your family. Take it easy. Rest. Recover…. Take deep breaths… avoid getting respiratory problems… once again love to you. Blessings…
Kelly , as a mother I know how hard this is for you! My heart just aches for you and your daughters❤ Know that you always have that guardian angel looking out for you! God bless your family !! Sorry to hear about your accident, I’ll be praying you heal fast ! Sending my love hugs and thoughts your way ! Take care my friend !!!
It's one of the hardest things to have to do. I love that people are sending you pictures of the items being used in their new home. I'm glad the house is staying within the family. Physical items may be gone, but you and your girls will always have the memories (good & bad) and can start a new chapter to continue the memories.
All the memories and momentos making you sad now will bring you joy someday..i have kept things of my mothers and my grandkids feel connected to her when i tell them about the items and have even asked to have some of her things for their future homes. Your daughters will be a part of Ray's legacy in sharing memories of him with their future families..
It's me again and I finally found your video of cleaning your precious sons home. I really don't know how you got through this time of being a mother and have to clean your beautiful sons home. I really thought by people buying his stuff and sending you pictures of his furniture and other stuff that he had. I just don't know how you did it but I do believe that they are by your side and keeping you strong enough to get though at all you have gone through. But I am not going to talk my brains out again but like I said stay well,stay strong and take your time going back into doing things. We will be here waiting for you to get better and watch your videos when you feel up to it. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR GIRLS.
Cleaning out Rays house would feel so goodbye, so final. I admire you and your daughters strength. Wise decision Kayla. Oh Kelly, praying for you. Hugs
I hope you know how many of us you are helping by being so honest and open through your grieving and healing journey. I am 5 months into my own journey, and I cannot imagine how much more difficult this would be without your insight. I pray for your family, as if they were my own. Thank you for trusting us with your thoughts and emotions. ❤️
Hi Kelly, Another option for the Captain America painting would be to cut the painting out & replace that section of drywall. That way you wouldn't have to worry about renters damaging it. It's something for you to think about. Btw, thats a beautiful home. Ray had good taste. I pray that renters take care of it❤
Grieving is different for everyone. I know that for sure. I just wanted to share with you that there is a program called "Griefshare". It's usually presented at local churches. That may be something you might be interested in for further healing. Prayers are with you and the girls Kelly.
You have made some very wise decisions, albeit difficult. Ray was so blessed to have you for a mom. I enjoy hearing about him and seeing clips like the perfect gun wars. Thank you.
We lost two of my husband’s younger brothers several years ago now so I can relate. We helped raise 5 of his 7 younger brothers when his father died and his mother checked out so they were more like our kids than little brothers. It’s very hard. One died from a toxic drug combination and the other died after a car accident 14 years earlier had left him a quadriplegic with traumatic brain injury. The why isn’t as important as the loss itself. I should be watching them both have families of their own instead of visiting their graves. You stay strong. It does get better ❤️🩹, a tiny bit at a time. He’s looking out for you both, I promise you. Hugs 🤗, Lisa
Kayla could add a piece of furniture-grade plywood to the top of the pool table making it now a dining table. All she would need is 4 to 6 chairs or 2 benches and 2 chairs.
Kelly you and the girls have come a long way. I can only imagine how hard it is to clear out Rays house. You guys are doing just what Ray would have wanted💕💕💕💕
How lovely that people shared pictures of Ray's things with you. It must comfort you, somewhat, knowing others will enjoy a part of his legacy. Best to you as you face your upcoming surgery.
Kelly you’re doing amazing! Your work at Rays was extremely difficult but you did it! You are moving forward with little steps first your house and now Rays. Progress my friend, progress. You’ve got this Kelly. I pray for you and the girls and believe in my heart Ray is watching over you all. 💖
Wow, you’re one very strong person! I have never had to bury a child, so I really have no idea what you’re going through, but this whole video had me crying! God bless you and your beautiful family! Hugs and prayers! ❤🙏
Kept thinking about the house and praying for a way for it to stay in the family🤗 The gifting to Kayla is a testament to the love you nurtured between them, too! Kayla's mural is beyond beautiful! Stay you❤🙏🏾 P.S. Prayers for your healing!
Praying for a healthy and speedy recovery Kelly…thx for opening up your heart to us today. U are so sincere & genuine. And also an outstanding mama to your kiddos. Sending hugs your way Brandi (Modesto, Ca)
And that painting by Kayla is AMAZING!! She definitely got her mamas talent. I want one of those large Marvel figures painted in our garage too!!! So cool!! 🤩❤
What a great financial plan your family has come up with, with Kayla's house. Although the housing market is top notch these days for sellers, not so much for buyers, I totally understand her passion about keeping it. She seems really smart!
Happy Heavenly Birthday to Ray🙏♥️🙏 Many hugs and much love to you and your girls Kelly ♥️ You are amazing and strong and I’m sure Ray is still around you in spirit !!
Happy birthday Ray! Today is my husbands birthday, he would have been 70. In December he will be gone five years, still seems like yesterday. We will see our loved ones again one day, praying for you and Kayla.♥️🙏🏻
My heart goes out to you all for this trying time to have to do what you have to do as a mother,his sisters and the closes people to your Angel in the sky… I feel your pain of loss.. I’m sorry and Lift you &your girls in prayer 🙏
omgoodness u and ur family break my heart. i can’t even imagine the pain. i do know eventually the sun will shine again and before u know it u will join him FOREVER. in the meantime love on ur girls and love on yourself because that’s what Ray would want for you. Your a strong woman even in the moment you think ur not❤❤❤❤
Kelly, you are amazing and my heart goes out to you and the girls! Nobody’s business what you decide to do with his things. So difficult. Hang in there…❤
Wow your daughter is artist! Love that story and the story of the nerf wars. I think we keep our loved ones alive by sharing your memories. Speaking about them keeps their memory alive. It’s therapeutic. They will never be forgotten and always with us.❤
My thoughts and prayers are with you as always. I also will pray for your surgery, we never know how to ask for help, it is still hard for me. Much love
What a wonderful brother. I think it is a great decision to rent the house. I am sorry to hear that you got hurt. I am sure it was painful cleaning out Ray's house. Nerf wars sound like really great memories. We used to play hide and seek in the dark. Great memories. I hope you are able to sell the pool table. Maybe a pub owner would be interested. I pray that you all continue to heal. Kelly please take care of yourself. I hope the surgery goes well. Have a blessed week.
Hi Kelly! Sorry to hear about your injury. Wow! Kayla is an amazing artist! I too am a huge Avenger fan. Thank you for sharing such amazing personal moments! Get better soon and take care!💐❤️
My heart breaks for you kelly I pray for a smooth transition for you and your daughters God Bless you every day and every way He would be so proud of you all.
I feel your pain when you’re walking through Ray’s house. My daughter passed from cancer 6 years ago. Her husband and her 9 years old daughter still live there and I still have a pain in my stomach walking in her home.
Hi Kelly Big Hugs 🤗 I’m not understanding why people think it’s their business to ask such personal questions??? What you choose to share with us is more than enough!! Come on folks mind your business.
Exactly what I thought! Some people are just compassionless! 😔
Agreed. I meant to add a comment on that, too. People can be nosy. Asking why his wife this or that was their way of being nosy and finding answers to questions they had. It's really rotten. No one needs to know anything unless you choose to share it. Some people feel entitled to ask things or stick their nose in where it isn't appropriate.

@@mattiesful I’m sorry for your loss-you’re right about grief changing-we’ve experienced that as well.
Praying for you, Kelly.
Love that Ray left his vehicle an house to Kayla, so sweet. ❤
In September it will be 12 yrs that I lost my son. The right time is when you do things. No one can tell you anything different. You & the girls do things when you are ready! 🙏
I am so glad Ray had a chance to have his own home, even for a while. It was lived in and loved in.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Dispersing a loved one's things is the hardest thing to do. Ray's things are now serving the needs of other people.
Oh Kelly, I just want to send a hug and love to you. My son passed as a child; it’s never easy.
Grief is a lifelong process. Know that the love you and Ray shared is still alive.
Sending blessings and love to you and the girls ❤❤❤❤
What an amazing thing you did keeping Rays pictures for all those who entered to see! I was unable to sell my dad’s belongings, what wasn’t given to family and friends was donated to The Coffee Bunker ( for vets). I’m glad you were able to get this part of the process with courage and grace. It won’t be very long until the house is rented, laughter once again brings life and love into the home. You have brought honor to your son, gentle hugs, my friend. A thought on the pool table, perhaps there is a game room/officer relaxation room at the sheriffs office where Ray used to serve. What a great tribute and joy for them to be able to unwind after a long day, play a game of pool in memory of their dear friend Ray.
What a neat idea!
They would absolutely love that from Ray. Very thoughtful idea💯❤️🙏🏻
One day at a time. I think that it's awesome that Ray thought about taking care of Kayla. The way he lived is a testimony about what a wonderful mom and person you are.

I cannot fathom the depth of your pain. I can see your strength and undying love. Ray was blessed to call you Mom. Hugs to you and your family.

You guys are a special family. Do what you can to get through these hard times.
You are a strong lady. May God continue to bless you and your family.

I enjoyed the clip of the nerf gun fight and laughed at the all the ammo left. What a great memory for you!!
The first born boy often takes after mom. Obviously, your sweet son had your sweet personality❤
First, I want to say of all our warriors here on earth parents who have lost a child of any age are the strongest..........May peace find you all again 🌄

It's one of the hardest things to have to do. I love that people are sending you pictures of the items being used in their new home. I'm glad the house is staying within the family. Physical items may be gone, but you and your girls will always have the memories (good & bad) and can start a new chapter to continue the memories.

We lost two of my husband’s younger brothers several years ago now so I can relate.

One died from a toxic drug combination and the other died after a car accident 14 years earlier had left him a quadriplegic with traumatic brain injury. The why isn’t as important as the loss itself.

Kayla could add a piece of furniture-grade plywood to the top of the pool table making it now a dining table. All she would need is 4 to 6 chairs or 2 benches and 2 chairs.
Kelly you and the girls have come a long way. I can only imagine how hard it is to clear out Rays house.
You guys are doing just what Ray would have wanted💕💕💕💕

And that painting by Kayla is AMAZING!! She definitely got her mamas talent. I want one of those large Marvel figures painted in our garage too!!! So cool!! 🤩❤
What a great financial plan your family has come up with, with Kayla's house. Although the housing market is top notch these days for sellers, not so much for buyers, I totally understand her passion about keeping it. She seems really smart!
You and the girls are so brave. Thank you for sharing. ❤️
Happy Heavenly Birthday to Ray🙏♥️🙏 Many hugs and much love to you and your girls Kelly ♥️ You are amazing and strong and I’m sure Ray is still around you in spirit !!

My thoughts and prayers are with you as always. I also will pray for your surgery, we never know how to ask for help, it is still hard for me. Much love
What a wonderful brother. I think it is a great decision to rent the house. I am sorry to hear that you got hurt. I am sure it was painful cleaning out Ray's house. Nerf wars sound like really great memories. We used to play hide and seek in the dark. Great memories. I hope you are able to sell the pool table. Maybe a pub owner would be interested. I pray that you all continue to heal. Kelly please take care of yourself. I hope the surgery goes well. Have a blessed week.

I feel your pain when you’re walking through Ray’s house. My daughter passed from cancer 6 years ago. Her husband and her 9 years old daughter still live there and I still have a pain in my stomach walking in her home.
@@darleneklonk9128 I am so sorry for your loss. My parents lost a son, obviously my brother, many years ago and it’s still so very painful for us all.
Sending you gentle hugs for strength and healing
