Rae's Christian faith and strength has been and will continue to be an inspiration to me. I am thankful the Lord blessed my life with Rae's friendship since our college years. Rae was a true friend. May the Lord continue to comfort and strengthen you, her family, with His Word and His love. '"Thanks be to God who gives us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." I Cor. 15:55

Rae was a great person and a role model. She was the strongest person I've ever known, but still knew how to laugh through it all. I will miss her great sense of humor and inspiring conversations dearly. She will remain forever in my heart.

When I think of Rae, the first thing that comes to mind is her laugh. We shared so many in the years we spent together. She was a wonderful aunt and a loving sister, wife, and mother. I will miss her so much, especially her phone calls. I love you, Aunt Rae.

With how close Rae was to my mother and how much she cared about my family, she felt like a second mother. I will always remember her visits to MI and how she and I would drink coffee together and talk or just watch bad TV while everyone else was asleep or at work. She gave me insights into my own life when the pain of cancer was surely unbearable. She was a strong and amazing woman and I will miss her dearly.

Rae was a good friend in high school and early college. She was a great lady and a class act then and I am sure even more so as she married, raised a family and continued to touch the people in her life. I am very sorry to hear of your loss. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Rae was my cousin. Memories from when we were young are faint, but I will cherish the last couple of summers when we reunited with Anne and Bunny at my mom's house. My thoughts will be with Rae's children and husband, and with Anne and Bunny. Rae will be in my heart forever. Love, Karen

I am sorry to say I did not have the opportunity to know Rae in her personal life. But, As an associate I can say she was the optomal professional and always had her clients best interest at heart. What a pleasure to be around. All who knew her will have a void in their heart.
My Prayers and condolences go out to her family. Diane Hemelstrand. SD.

Dear Ray Family,
I’m so sorry for your loss. Rae, Anne and I were childhood friends and I treasure the memories and fun we shared. Even then, Rae faced life with courage, grace, warmth and unshakable faith. She loved you all so much and it was evident when we spoke how proud she was of all you. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
