John and family: I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time.
To say I'm shocked and heartbroken for you all would be a complete understatement. Distance has never felt so far. I love you more than anything, Vicary - you are a testament to what a truly spectacular woman your mom was and always will be. You and your sisters will carry on her legacy - one of the deepest care and the most loving heart. The world is a little less sweet of a place to be without her in it, but what a beautiful and priceless life she lived. I was privileged to have been apart of it at all. Wishing you all the strength possible as you navigate the days ahead together and separately.
I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your wonderful mom. Wishing you strength in this difficult time. Best wishes, Matt Lerner
We are so shocked and deeply saddened at the sudden loss of our friend and next door neighbour. Rae was always there for interior decorating advice, good chats, and was a special neighbour. Her girls Lindsay, Ainsleigh and Vicary were the pride of her life. We loved hearing about your weddings, your adventures, and most importantly your children. Her beloved grandchildren were the joy of her life, and she cherished the backyard swim days. John, words cannot express our sympathy at this loss.
Dearest Ainsleigh We would like to offer you and your family our deepest and most sincere condolences. Sharing in your sorrow with love and friendship. We are here for you. Love you. Emilia & Anthony
