Dear Al and family, we were sad to her of Rae's death. May you find peace and comfort in the Lord's presence over the days ahead. We like to imagine that Rae is doing a taste test at an agape dinner in heaven right now.

So sad to hear the passing of Rae, she always had a smile on her face when she came to the Lake Elmo EAA Chapter 54 clubhouse. Al, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you are one fine gentleman who is is always so nice to us at the airport.

So saddened to hear of cousin Releane's passing. She had many trials and tribulations in her life, but always handled them with a smile on her face. She has/had a wonderful life partner to go through life with that truly showed what two committed people can be for each other. May she rest in peace.

I met Rae when she worked for the City of Lake Elmo, when she broadcasted Council meetings for cable. Her level of energy was endless with a positive can do attitude. My condolences to her family and friends on your loss.
