I have such great memories of Raylah. She had so much moxie, spoke her mind – a real straight shooter, and was a lot of fun to yak with. I hope you remember her wonderful qualities forever. My heart goes out to Uncle Lew, my cousins Nancy, Steve and Bruce , and the rest of her family and her friends. \
Lots of love,
