Wind Beneath My Wings, Dedicated To Sharon

This was a song that we did during the America's Classic Country Days Featuring Charlie Monk. Ray ask Charlie to dedicate a song to Sharon and this was the song he chose. All of us knew that Ray loved Sharon and that they both rode on the wings of God by the breath of God. Ray always pointed this out to me when we would start to talk about family and how much Sharon had given so that he and later he and I could chase his dreams.
In the end his real dreams came true, he was closer to his best friend in the world this side of Jesus than he ever had been in his life. Ray told me one time during one of my "blue funks" as he would call them after a break-up, that it was not enough for you to love someone but that they had to love you back 110% both ways.
He told Sharon one day that things did not matter...people do. I love you and miss you my friend.
