As you may know, we have an In Memoriam page http://www.rainellereunion.com/in-memoriam.html You are welcome to send notices, tributes and other information.
We thought it would be good to have a topic on the discussion board that will notify Rangers quickly when we hear about the passing of a classmate or friend of Rainelle. This will allow you to send a card, flowers or attend the funeral if possible. I am about to post one. We welcome your contributions. Dale
