I went to visit you last night in your slumber Aunt Rainey. I looked at you and smiled because you looked as beautiful as you always did. I imagined your smile and your laugh. I looked at your children and marveled at the strength and courage they all displayed on such a sad day for them. You deserve your rest, dear Aunt, to be with Uncle John, your son, your parents and brothers who have saved a place at the table for you. Though I see so few people now, I think of you all often. Your children will be fine as they all got sttrength and courage from you and Uncle John. Say hi to my mom and dad and Betty for me and tell them I will see them soon.
To the family, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Take care of each other and keep the memories close to your heart and trust me, you will be just fine.

My heartfelt sympathy at this most difficult time. Thinking of Mrs. Q today with fond memories of a woman who always made me feel at home and like one of her own children when I used to hang out at her house with Missy and repeating another generation when my son Nathan would visit her with Nicholas. Sending my love to the family.
