Sympathy and prayers for the family. Loved working with Rae at PJC and enjoyed our work with the professional organizations (CAEOP/FAEOP). She was so kind and giving. Remembering Rae and Charlie fondly.

Hey Chuck... so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. Your mom and dad were very good friends with my parents. In fact, she reminded me when I was at PJC that she saw me in the hospital when I was born. Very sweet lady.. may she rest in peace.

I'm so glad we were given the opportunity to know "Memaw" these last few months and also her loving family. We will miss her and I will smile when I remember some of the stories of her younger years. Much love to the family.
