Condolences

Condolence From: George and Melody Yungblut
Condolence: Dear Aileen and Family,,,,also Eleanor. You have our deepest sympathy on the passing of Rae. We had many chats over the years, and the longest one was at a farm sale this past summer where you and Rae were. It was so very hot, but the two of you took in everything,,,Rae helping you when you needed him. I am sure he was a huge aid to you in many, many ways,,but you are also a very determined intelligent woman, always striving to stay independent. Keep on being like that...Take care, and think of all the wonderful times you had. George and Melody

Condolence From: Pam and Mark TarBush
Condolence: I am remiss in waiting this long to write to you. Unfortunate conflicts of medical appointments prevented me from being with you on Monday. Aileen and Rae have both been an inspiration for our Tim Hortons Group for years. Both have exhibited good humour, bright debating skills and generally a love of life which has been a treat for us to be a part of. With Rae gone it will be tougher for Aileen to continue with us, but we do hope that she will get the odd opportunity to come out and say hello. We have just put a framed picture of Rae on the mantle across from "our table" at Tim's. Please know that all of us are grieving in our own fashion with you and will miss Rae's great contribution to our state of the union moments. Love to all.

Condolence: Our hearts go out to you and your family for your loss. I remember that he would come into the city just to be the driver so that someone could get to the cancer clinic or such.
