We are so sorry we can't be there to celebrate the life of our beloved Miss Rachel today but please know that we carry the fondest of memories in our hearts. Rachel was more than a friend-she was an integral part of the extensive Montville family and will truly be missed at family gatherings.

Aunt Raye was so special to me. Out of all of my relatives she was always the best "put together". She was always smiling and knew the right things to say. She always wore the nicest clothes. She always had a very unique sense of humor. There was always laughter around Raye at family gatherings. She sent my mother cards and newspaper clippings of comics that were always hilarious. My fondest memories of her will always be at Blueberry Hill Lane in "God's Country" with her husband Art carving the turkey with his electric knife at Thanksgiving. She was always the greatest hostess and Art, of course, was a great host. The grass was always greener over the septic tank. I will miss you Aunt Raye.

As an alumnus of St. Theresa School, I had the honor of being read to by her, along with my classmates, every week from grades K-3. Mrs. Massimin was truly a kind, gentle, and loving woman. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

As a young boy growing up in Monroe I had the pleasure of knowing Mrs Massimin both as the friendly librarian, as well as one of my 'second moms'. I will always have fond memories of her ready smile, welcoming arms and infectious laugh. My thoughts are with you Brian and Jann.
