Rayelene’s Dad and my mother were cousins and we lived close by when growing up. We played together a lot and went to the same high school. She always found time to come over for coffee and chat. We haven’t stayed in close touch as older adults, but I have very fond memories of her. She will be missed by many. My sympathy to all the family.
