I am so sorry Scott I did not know that your mom had passed (don’t keep up with the obits like I should) I just loved her and your daddy so much they were so special to me, I know you will miss them terribly, if you ever need anything I’m still at Baptist Hospital –blessings to you and your family
When I think of Rae, I remember the “little visits” we had so often when she walked the Corkwood/Baywood circle. Sweet lady!
She lived her life her way to the very end! I am so very blessed to have met her and to experience her wisdom. I am thankful to have her family in my life! She will always live on through them! I am also thankful God knew her heart…she did not want to be unable to tend for herself and she dearly missed her husband. When she was ready…God took his Angel home! Prayers for the family to heal!
