I am so sad to hear that Rayna passed. I knew Rayna as a fellow employee at Connexus Credit Union. I loved talking "sewing shop" with her! My deepest condolences to Jeremy and her entire family.
I was shocked to learn of Rayna's passing. She and I worked together at Connexus. My sympathies go out to her family.
My deepest condolences to your entire family for your loss. I worked with Rayna at UHC for a just a short period, but in that time she truly made a difference. Her sense of humor, her wit and her willingness to lend a kind helping hand, will be greatly missed. I am glad I had the honor of working with her. So truly sorry for your loss.
My deepest sympathies to Rayna's parents, husband and her entire family. We worked together at UHC. Rayna was always ready to lend a hand or help someone whenever she could, it didn't matter if it was her responsibility or not. I always admired her work ethic and enjoyed our chats about dogs, pets, terrible MN and WI weather and what ever else was on our minds. From reading the tributes, I see that Rayna holds a special place in many hearts. Peace to Rayna and all who have lost.
Rayna was my co-worker at UHC. We were a team of two. I will miss her support in my projects. Her ear to talk and complain our work projects, her wit and humor, her dog stories. I can't believe your gone. Although we communicated by phone, email, and IM, I will greatly miss you after all these years working with you.
Rayna was like a daughter. Her and Jessi had a very special bond. I'll remember her with fondness, love and many memories. Jean, Dick and rest of the family, I send my sincerest sympathy at the lost of your daughter. She was much too young to go away, but God had other plans in place for her. May she rest peacefully in the arms of our Lord God. Good Bye dear Rayna--until we meet again. Love Cheryl Hunter
Rayna was once a free spirit that no one could tame, she had endless energy and love, when lupus took over she fought hard, continuing to share all she had left with loved ones, family and furry friends, she is free again and we have lost someone special
She was such a sweet spirit, may she fly free.
I was an online friend of Rayna's. She was one of the few people I wanted to meet in real life. Please take care of her dogs. They meant the world to her. I hope she finds peace.
I was shockened and saddened to see that Rayna had passed! She and I worked together a few years ago at Footlocker.com! Her family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.
My heart and soul are so broken! Rsyna and I have been friends (through thick and thin) since 5th grade! We even rented our 1st apartment together, miles from home! We have been looking forward to seeing each other once again at my April wedding! Jeremy, Jean, Rick and rest of the family...you are all in my thoughts and prayers during this tragic time. Love to you all!
