It is July 7 2021 and Raylene suddenly came to my thoughts. The last time I saw Raylene was in 2017 at Portneuf Medical Center. We were both employees at that time.
Anyway, I thought of her today and something told me to look her up in obituaries. I had a sad feeling that she may have passed. I am sad to see that she is gone. My condolences to her family. She truly is a precious soul. I have such admiration and respect for her. It was an honor to know and work with her. Heaven is a better place because Raylene is there. They are so lucky to have her around them. Dear Raylene, Sorry I missed your funeral. I am grateful a little voice prompted me to look you up and check on you today. Take care and God Bless. Thank you for touching my life with your kindness and friendship.

I was fortunate enough to work with Raylene at PMC and Convenient Care. She was a great person and I will miss seeing her from time to time. She gave me a beautiful quilt for my bedroom after we lost everything in a house fire. I cherish that quilt everyday and even more so now that she's gone. My thoughts are with her family.

Brett and family, Im so sorry to read of your moms passing. I did not know her well, but was so appreciative of her kindness for our family when Tim fell from the trusses he was working on. As soon as she heard my name at the ER desk, she was so helpful to get us where we needed to be. It was such a scary time for us and her presence and concern made it better. Im so glad that the mom of my sons friend was there with us! Moms understand each other!! We will pray for peace and comfort to be with you.
