The Plumlee family has always had a special place in my heart. I have always absolutely adored Rae and since the move from Flora, our telephone conversations and her laugh will be missed. She was like a grandmother to my sons when we lived in Flora, her heartfelt love was never ending. To Mike, Deanie, Lisa & Shannon. You all were blessed with a mom who had a heart of gold. She was truly the matriarch of your family and will be dearly missed. Thank goodness for God's grace..... She now is living in perfection. Sending much love to you all.

My heart goes out to the family in the loss of your mother. Rae was always fun to be near and I always laughed so hard when she would get "wound up" and tell a funny story. She was always good to me and I have great memories of babysitting Lisa when she was young. I hope the family gains comfort from remembering her love and wit.

Did not get to tell you goodbye, my heart aches that you have gone. You no longer live with lingering pain but rejoice in a new life. Your smile, laughter, sense of humor will be remembered. Love for your family was strong and the strength and comfort you provided will stay with them. Has been almost a year since we sit and talked, but know you are looking down at all who loved you and understand our selfish grief that we have been left alone. Bless you Rae that you made a safe journey home to Bill, your parents, to that peaceful place we all dream about. Goodbye Rae.

It was my privilege to have been granted the opportunity to meet such a warm hearted and loving woman. I will never forget the joy of her laughter and most of all, her sense of humor. Although my time for knowing her was very short on this earth, I feel very fortunate to have known her. I could always feel her inner peace when I was in her presence, knowing that I put a smile on her face or the laughs we shared together commenting on some off the wall remark. You will never be forgotten dear "Rae" Watch over all of us and continue to share in the laughter from the heavens above. My sincere condolences to the entire family for your loss. Most respectfully, David Gagnon
