It was such happiness to know both and a honor that I knew them for so many years! Always had a great attitude toward life and living. There was something new to be learned every week! They will forever be in my heart! I Loved them dearly! I'm so sorry for your loss! They are probably having a picnic with their...

Our sympathies are with you and your family.

Linda and Sally,
My deepest sympathy on the loss on your mother. I think of you and Rae every time I pass the white house when in Bay City. it was a short 1 block walk to my second home. Your mother always has a great sense of humor but kept us in line. It's wonderful she lived to 100- WOW

Sally and Linda; my deepest sympathy on the passing of your mother. I always think of you and Rae whenever I pass your white house; it was a one short block to my second home. Many good memories of playing at your house. Your mother was always kind and had a great sense of humor but kept us inline. It is wonderful she lived to 100 - wow!

My Mom, Viola Schroeder, sends her deepest condolences to all of Rae's family. My Mom and Dad spent many fun times with Rae and Wally over the years. I especially remember sharing in lots of laughter the four of them were having one New Years Eve. Mom was so happy to send Rae a recent note for her 100th Birthday celebration. We are all thinking of you and the good memories our parents shared. Sending our thoughts and prayers. Jay Schroeder Towey

On behalf of Dolores Maillette and family, we know what great friends Mom and Rae were. They shared fun while working hard while running Handy, and enjoyed the last few years together at Sheffield Bay. Rae was always smiling and she remained true in her spirit. Our sympathy for the loss of a cool 100 year old.
