I am so sorry for your loss. It was so sudden, so I am glad that she didn´t linger. I feel like I knew the whole family because she spoke about how wonderful you were over the 30 years that I did her nails. I will miss her dearly!

Ken, Our thoughts and sympathy are with you and the family today. My memories of Rae Ann all revolves around her radiant smile and how much fun she seemed to be having when we would see you at Clear Lake as well as how much you enjoyed each other. Such a great thing for a child to see!
I cannot imagine how much she is missed by all of you.
With love and sympathy today and as you go forward,
Kristi and Marc

Ken,
Rae Ann seemed to be there to help everyone in their time of need. Kay and Rae shared their love of reading with Rae sending Kay a note one time that said, “Thanks so much for sharing your books! I love to read but can’t seem to pick out books for myself, but your choices were almost always just what I wanted.” Ken, Kay and I were horrified to learn that Rae did not survive the surgery that she needed. My memories of Rae will always be the picture of the two of you sailing on the river.

Our condolences to you and your family.

Rae Ann & I went to high school together in SF. Rae was a Bridesmaid at our
wedding. Ken was a guest as we had been good friends. Rae caught the bouquet & Ken caught the garter & the rest is history. Congrats! on 57 yrs together, Ken. Rae was a lovely lady & we are heartbroken she is gone.
All the best, Glen & Susan, & Ken.
Love, Karen & Jim

Dear Uncle Ken, Glen and Susan,
Aunt Rae was more special to me than words can express. Her love was showered every time we spoke, which was weekly, and always over the years upon me and my children. Her heart was truly a heart of gold as she loved loving and nurturing those children at school all of those years which truly
was her joy. I want you to know how much we love you all and how much we loved Aunt Rae, or as we jokingly called her, Great Aunt Rae. Love to you. We miss her deeply.
