Mary Randolph Rauscher

My heart goes out to the Rauscher Family. I'm so sorry for your loss. I was friends with Maran at St. Michael's and we played on the same soccer team for years. Maran was one of the strongest people I knew who didn't let anything get in her way. I will truly miss her and my only regret was not staying in touch after middle school. You never truly appreciate someone until you lose them and that holds true in my case for Maran she was a great friend I will never forget the weekend soccer games...

My sincere condolences to the entire Family.

I just wanted to say i am so sorry about your loss. I knew her from Camp John Marc. She was cheerful and full of energy. Again i am so sorry for your loss. If there is anything that you need please feel free to email me.

I will miss her.

In a house as full and exciting as Santa's bag, Maran reigned as Queen. May the light of her smile illuminate the world and her courage inspire those whom she touched.

Dear Maran,
I'm not sure if you can check your email in Heaven or not. But I wanted to write you one more time. You were my first friend, that first day of first grade, my first crush, and even though over the last 16 years we may have been separated by thousands of miles, you were always there for me. Every memory I have of you is very special to me, from putting katsup on mashed potatos to SR Prom, I will never forget you, and yesterday I was reminded of how very special you truly...

I know I should be happy today for my friend Maran, but I'm feeling her loss, even though I haven't seen her in awhile. My favorite thought of Maran is when she was very young, and it began to rain, she would say, "Go away, thunder! Go away!!" What a dynamic person! My prayers are with the family. Love, Sally

Dear Malee: I am so sorry. I will be thinking of you. Katy

Dear, dear Malee,
My thoughts are with you as you deal with the loss of your precious, wonderful Maran. She usually answered when I called and I always enjoyed our visits which were sometimes lengthy when you were unavailable. She was such a delight, such a joy and always made my day better. I know that I am only one of many that will miss her.
Am sending hugs and love to all of you with this message,
Kay

Maran was my best friend in grade school. She would invite me over to her house on Park Lane, and I would spend the night on numerous occasions. We were always together at the playground. When we were in gym class and we were supposed to be paired with someone, she and I would always be paired up. Everything about her made me smile. The way she would make me laugh, or the way she would make me feel better when I was upset. No matter how much she was in pain or she was worried about her next...
