In loving memory of the two best friends I ever had. They left this earth together on Monday. I always called Raymond by his nic-name Buddy, But Ruth Ann always called him Ray. My deepest thank you to John Lobello for his help, I think he got it just right.

Ruth Ann and Ray

Copr. 2010 Kevin Pearson/John Lobello


He was born in Ohio
with a California dream
The Monterey Coastline
To paint next to the sea


She was a California girl
A streak of purple in her hair
And as fate would have it
They're paths crossed way out there


Well they bought a little house
And he painted when he could
They loved with all of their heart
knowing that they always would


The rest is almost
Just too hard to say
They both went away
On the very same day


I guess the love was too strong to separate
And though it hurts us all twice as much today
There is a comfort in all of this pain
Cause Ray still has his Ruth Ann
And Ruth Ann still has Ray


I guess the love was too strong to separate
And though it hurts us all twice as much today
There is a comfort in all of this pain
Cause Ray still has his Ruth Ann
And Ruth Ann still has Ray


Cause Ray still has his Ruth Ann
And Ruth Ann still has Ray


Cause Ray still has his Ruth Ann
And Ruth Ann still has Ray
