My Love,

With tears, streaming down my face and my heart and soul speaking, I lost the man I truly loved, the man who stood by me, taught me so much about life...to love, to laugh...I have never known love could be so strong, my soul danced the moment i fell...my soul was home...those little glances, the smiles across the room, we shared a secret language only you and I knew..."when you build your house, then call me home"...  I just cant believe a new year is here, my bags are packed with nowhere to go, all I have in my suitcase are the loving memories, we share...I keep your candle lit in the window, the light that will forever burn in my heart...you will forever be, the man of my dreams...i know you promised me, we would grow old together...just know darlin...you will always live, in my soul...Thank YOU, for the Most Beautiful Ride, of a Lifetime...Happy New Year, Darlin...I Love You

Memories are forever and I have many to cherish.  Until I see you again....I'll never forget!

Ray you will be missed so much!We have so many memories and I will treasure them always...I am praying for your family.


Ray, My memories go back to when you and your brother David were younger. I  was given the task of caring for you and your brother, while your parents worked. You both were a hand full, but  I enjoyed every minute.   My Mother Yvonne and I send our condolences to your family.
Anita and Yvonne Swanson

We hear that we should live life to the fullest; yet day to day activities often cause us to forget that simple piece of wisdom.  Ray was a man who lived life to the fullest.  For that Herb and I will cherish his memory.  Our condolences to Ray's family.

Wow, really Ray? I just can't believe it. I can't believe I'm writing this for YOU! You were more to me then just a friend, you were like a little brother that bossed me around. You would make me so mad at times and then I would just love you like nothing ever happened. I echo what my brother David wrote about our friends we have lost from N. Crockett. We had friends on that street like no one else's, you were like no one else. You were and always will be Ray Sletner. Gone but never forgotten. I will miss you my friend and thank you for being there for me when I needed you most. RIP

Proud of you ! Miss you and Love you Thanks for always being there.

So many memories....
It's hard to believe that we lost you so soon. I hate that life leads us all down different paths and we don't stay as close as we all were. Glad I got to still see you occasionally at the Texans games! I'll yell extra loud for both of us now. Rest in peace my friend!

Ray, as a great friend, and a great person, and brother in law, I Love You and will miss you terribly, you left us to soon, but I am honored to have had the time and years ive had with you, you will be a legend in our hearts forever, R.I.P. Brother !

I didn't no you that long but you were always so nice and friendly. I hate you passed so soon. To his family I am so sorry for your loss. May he rest in peace.

Brother you have left way too soon. We grew up as kids playing TIFI football, meeting up in jr high before becoming neighbors on N Crockett. I have many memories of our life up until we were young adults. The best memory that our closest friends can have as teenagers is the time we spent Spring Break down at your grandmothers house. One hell of a week I will never forget, for what I remember....lol. The only space between us has been time. You, as well as Wendy Threlkeld Watt, Michael Bailey will never be forgotten, with the constant reminder that you all lived on Crockett street.

Mr. Sletner, Ms Sletnter, Danielle, I too feel your pain with your loss. Let us remember all the things about Ray that made him the person he was. My deepest sympathy for you all.

David Saucillo
