May the peace which comes from the memories of love shared, comfort you now and in the days ahead-Mary was very special to the entire family. My heart goes out to you Jess, Pat and Carmen, Dan/Ashley and all the family--my true friends forever. Miles can never separate our hearts and my love for you...

Love to you all now and always my dearest Rayburn friends.

My deepest sympathy goes out to the Rayburn Family. We all loved and cherished "Mither" so very much. She was no doubt the FIRST LADY of Oakville. You are in the Stoltz family's heart & prayers- Steve Stoltz
