“I walked off the plane and met Ray’s sister for a connecting flight to LA, and I don’t know what I would have done without Linda that night,” Jacy added after narrating her experience as she grieved on the flight.

What life has been like without the actor

Jacy shared that her four children— Dax, Chazz, Jade, and Joey, from her previous marriage and Ray’s daughter, Karson, “keep her going every single day.” She further revealed that the past year was “a heavy year of pain, heartache, healing, growing and accepting what is. Learning to smile at what was.”

“It supposedly gets easier with time. No time will change a loss so great. You just learn to live with it and keep going, trusting that all will be ok,” Jacy added. Interestingly, Jacy’s grandmother also died on the same day as Ray twenty years ago. “She was the other love of my life and one of my favorites of all time,” she added, paying tribute to her late grandmother.
