Marian V. Raver

missing you grandma

MISSING YOU SO MUCH GRANDMA, IT HURTS KNOWING I CAN'T JUST CALL YOU ON THE PHONE TO "CHECK IN" ANYMORE- I LOVE HOW OUR LITTLE "TOUCHING BASE " CALLS WOULD TURN INTO 2 HOUR CHATS & CHUCKLES. I KNOW YOU HAVE GONE ON AHEAD AS YOU WANTED , BUT IT IS STILL TOUGH FOR THOSE OF US STILL HERE. YOU ARE MY TREASURE I WILL HOLD DEEP IN MY HEART FOR EVER. "SQUISH YOU TIGHT"

We miss Aunt Marian more than words can say. We enjoyed "spoiling" her when we could (and when she'd let us). WE felt better when she did accept our gifts and meals so WE thanked her for letting us do that. We miss our talks on the phone. We miss her wit. We miss learning more about her family history. She and my Mom (Opal/Bobbie) were very close and depended on each other not only as sisters but as friends and confidants. I never got the feeling they thought they were "half" sisters either. They accentuated the positive and brought out the best in each other I think. We are at peace knowing Aunt Marian is reunited with the family that has gone on before her and that she is no longer suffering. We are so blessed to have had her for over 93 yr.!

Our world lost a beautiful spirit when Mrs. Raver passed away. She left behind so many that loved and admired her .She was our neighbor for fifty-five years and each day she was a blessing. She had an amazing work ethic, great integrity, kindness and so caring. She was one of a kind! We will never forget her and we will do our best to honor her and her legacy

Mrs. Raver lived next door to my grandparents my entire life and has been the sweetest and most kind lady. She was not just a neighbor but a family friend. She watched me and my cousins grow up, as well as my daughter Angelina and of course my father before me. My heart aches and we will miss her dearly. I can't imagine anyone else in her little home and not seeing her smiling face but I'm grateful that she is at peace now. My most sincere condolences to her family.

Our sympathy goes out to all her family and loved ones. Marian will be missed by many, She wrote in the cousins letters and all of us will miss hearing for her.
God bless all, our prayers for the family.

Marian was my Blue Bird leader, I was invited after the meetings to have dinner with the family, My favorite was tuna gravy on toast. Shary was my best friend and I miss her so. Marian was like a Mother to me, I was so lucky to have both in my life. Sharon Rubey

My grandma was so much more than just "grandma"! She was also my adviser, my confidant, and even my friend! She was the only person in the world that has been in my life since the day I was born. I smile knowing grandma will always be with me!

Our deepest sympathy Truly a wonderful woman and our thoughts and prayers are with all of you

My dear grandma has been such an incredibly huge part of my life since the day I was born, she played a huge part in helping mom to make me the woman I am today- I love you forever, and will miss you deeply Grandma. So grateful we got you home in time- will cherish my memories always
