My childhood friend was intelligent, warm and caring. Rae was bolstered by her deep faith and spirituality. I shall miss her “Shabbat Shalom” calls and her laughter at my Yiddish. Most of all I shall miss her unwavering friendship. Much love. Eileen

Eric, Ellen, Lloyd and all your families. It is with great sadness that Bernice and I mark the passing of Auntie Rae. Rae was so close with Zelda and and I grew up on Queen street and Rae was a part of my life for many years. It is most unfortunate that these times prevent us from joining you in person and fondly sharing memories of a remarkable lady. Hopefully her memory will help you all through the sadness.
