A big shock. I have never met either of them, but in my daily work face death and see the consequences it brings to bear on family and friends, and can only empathise with the feelings expressed above.

There are no words for the loss of one so young...

My sincere and deepest condolences.

Of course my deepest condolences go out to Ray and the family at this unhappy event.

PLEASE forgive my ingnorence but i only know Ray from his TV shows and books, i know many of you have met him and his family over the years.
Was Rachel his wife, sister or mother? I'm afraid the wording of the post could be taken as any of the above. I was not even aware he was married although i assumed he was.

If anyone could post a brief bio of his personal histroy it would be appreciated. I would very much like to e-mail the woodlore website to pass on my condolences but would like to get my facts straight first.

Many thanks to all in advance

Rachel was Ray's wife.

Many thanks Burnt Ash

I have e-mailed a message of condolence to Ray through the Woodlore website.

I will keep an eye on this thread but if someone could do a post to let us all know what we are doing in the way of flowers, donation etc that would be appreciated. I think that's an excellent idea.

Another sad loss. The most difficult part of life.

Though I wander far-off ways,
Dearest, never doubt thou me.

Mine is not the love that strays,
though I wander far off ways.

Faithfully for all my days
I have vowed my self to thee,
though I wander far-off ways,
Dearest, never doubt thou me.

I can't say anything more than's already been said here, except sympathies and best wishes to the entire Mears Family. Some good friends of mine lost their brother-in-law to cancer earier this week, so a time of sadness and reflection.

 

[Pignut]

as above, I can't say anything that has not already been said!

My thoughts are with you all
