Life throws curveballs. I was a reporter/newscaster at 680 News; entertainment reporter at Global Television for 18 TV & movie star-filled years. Got married. Had 2 fantastic kids, both now in their twenties. Kate, a writer, sex blogger, educator and singer/songwriter. http://katewritesaboutsex.com/ Max? - FAB drummer, guitarist, teacher, singer/songwriter. Check out his band, Goodbye Honolulu. http://www.goodbyehonolulu.com/videos/ I stepped out of the spotlight (ha!), to help as caregiver for our ailing mother. My sister, Carrie, a professional singer, was co-caregiver, thank goodness. In 2010, Mum passed away. Five months later, still grieving her loss, I was diagnosed with breast cancer, had a lumpectomy and 16 rounds of radiation at Princess Margaret Hospital. Seven years, cancer-free. (knock wood). Discovered cancer messes with the mind. Dealt with some pretty out there, over-the-top thoughts, ideas, emotional highs, lows, and let my freak flag fly! Launched Lain's Log to chronicle experiences. My goal? - As a reporter, to TELL IT LIKE IT IS! - NO candy-coating. To life! elaine.loring@rogers.com

Am so sorry for your loss, Elaine. I fondly remember Ray from her Cityline days, and that's how I found your blog. From her TV appearances, Ray seemed to be a wonderful, unique lady and your posts about her confirm that fact. My condolences to you and your family, and hoping you are able to find some of her strength for yourself in the coming days and weeks.
it makes me sad reading this!
Thank you for the kind messages.
Elaine
