Dr. Rae De Francesco Burton

I have only just read of Rae's passing. I am Margery White's (Law) nephew Tony. My Aunt was the exchange student who came to Connecticut in the 1950's whilst Rae came to Birmingham in the UK. They kept in touch all of their lives and Margery, together with my Mother, visited Rae around 1996. May I send my deepest condolences to the family.

We always felt the Dees were our family. How blessed are we to have love from each other. Rae welcomed us into her home when we were at a soccer tournament and was so gracious. She was an amazing individual.

I met Rae at the hospital where I was a patient adviser.she was a personable woman who was an influence.often we would sit together at meetings.one time she was having trouble opening a drink .she asked me for help even though I had only one good hand .together we opened the drink.i shall miss her greatly.don squires

I was fortunate enough to be a student in Mrs Burton's class at Warner School. She connected me with a former student in England, with whom I still correspond.

Mrs Burton was my guidance counselor many years ago at Delcastle. She was such a kind & caring person. I have never forgotten her. May she RIP!

What can you say in words that convey the spirit and energy that Rae brought to this world. She was the inspiration to so many students and colleagues.
I am so blessed to be called a friend and will miss you.
Condolences to her family and friends for the loss of such a dynamic presence theirs lives.
Rae was a gift to all who had the pleasure of her knowing her.
