When I woke this morning my first thought was of you dad , another Christmas day without you , I know you would not want us to be sad on this day but its days like this that remind us of the loss of your presence and laughter we use to have on this special day ,my heart is heavy writing this but I know you would say "don't worry about me , just have a great day", we will dad and you will be with us too,love ya dad , Ken and Angela.

to all the sewell family sending our love to you all you never stop missing ray or talking about him we do most days and think of you all.brian joan.

Dear Dad
It's been a whole year without you. I think of you everyday and look at your photo. I think back to when we were kids. You provided us with your love and care and taught us to respect others which is hard to come by these days. You worked hard, at times finances were tough.
I miss our chats and your cheese straws and scones. I miss not being able to see you and give you that light punch on the shoulder and just fooling around.
Mum and Feeb's really miss you. Feeb's always on the lookout. Mum always talking to you when times are tough.
I will always love you Dad as does Mum and Feeb. I know you are watching over us as you did in real life, because I know your family meant everything.
I will always miss you Dad.

Your loving daughter Debbie xxxooo

Our thoughts are with you all at this sad time. A lovely uncle who I didn't see alot over the years but always enjoyed his company when I did. I am sorry none of us can be there to represent Ray's sister and our dear mum Val who thought the world of her dear brother. None of us would have thought he would be joining her so soon. Take care of each other and remember all the good times which I hope will give you the strength to deal with your loss. Jan Coley Tauranga NZ

The BEST father-in-law any person could have.
You were more of a father to me than a father-in-law. I will sadley miss you and all the things you did for me on a regular basis around our home.
It will not be the same watching the V8 races on TV knowing that you won't be watching them to.
The next race is for you mate.
You and Balto are now together. Look after each other.
YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
