In addition to keeping me healthier than I deserved, Rae gave me the best piece of advice on parenting I ever received. Just before my daughter was born, when I was so nervous about being a Dad I could hardly think, she told me to remember that "there are no "bad" ages. Tough days, maybe, but no bad ages. There's weren't. Our condolences to all who were close to her. Bob and Ellie Tupper
