I am so sorry to hear about Rae. She was a good friend and helped me a lot. Watching the pictures you thoughtfully shared made me smile. I could almost hear her laugh, and she had a contagious smile. We have all lost a wonderful friend, and I know the children and grandchildren will miss her, but have beautiful memories. I love the care she put in the Homecoming mums she made every year. God Bless Rae's family. Love to all of you.

Rae and I spend many fun years working on DERA at the plant. She always had many great ideas and we worked well together. The best part was we were friends on and off the plant. She was a super lady and will be missed greatly.

I am so sorry to hear this news. I worked with Rae for many years at DuPont. She was one of the sweetest, and kindest Ladies I've ever known. She loved her kids so much and talked about them all the time. She was so proud of them all.

I still have a wonderful Peach Cobbler recipe that she gave me years ago. I have given it out and I always write it down as "Rae's Peach Cobbler".

God bless you all.
