Thoughts and prayers to Raven’s family and loved ones. I’ve met Raven on a couple of occasions and she was always so great and genuine. Thoughts to Andrea and all her friends at this time. Remember, memories are a movie we can play anytime.
So Saddened To Hear Of Raven’s Passing. Myself and My Husband met Raven about 6-7 yrs ago at her job. She was a Beautiful person both inside and out. We would bring her treats because we thought the world of her…she was kind and a very loving person and I loved our chats. My condolence to her Family and Loved Ones…another Angel Gone Too Soon! xo
My heart breaks for you, Florence, Ed, Todd, and sweet Rachael. I only knew Raven a short while. She was my lifeline at the hospital. Her compassion and sense of humour endeared her to me instantly. She was a beautiful soul who touched so many. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Adena and family:
Lane and I are so sorry for your loss.

Wish I was able to attend the service tomorrow but I am also back in hospital again. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you ! Cherish the beautiful memories you shared together !

I would like to send my condolences to Raven’s family and especially Tod. I met Raven in May. She was such a beautiful woman. Tod, you were so devoted to Raven. She made such a great impression even though we knew each other for such a short time. May God comfort you all in your time of grief.
Flo, Ed & Adena
Speechless and heartbroken, we can only imagine the unbearable grief you are suffering with the loss of Raven. Our hearts and thoughts are with you,
Ed, Flo and family
We were shocked last night when you called to tell us of Raven’s passing. It is devastating and unbelievable to say the least and a call we certainly were not expecting. The grief you are feeling at this time is beyond measure I am sure. There are no words we could say at this time to ease your pain except that time and the memories you have of her does bring some measure of relief. There are no two grandparents on the face of the earth who could have done more for their granddaughter than you two did. Please take some comfort in that. Know that your are in our thoughts and prayers and only a phone call away if you need us. Hugs to you, take care and God Bless.
Adena, Ed, Florence and family
It is difficult to lose a loved one,
to lose a child is unbearable. Just know that she will never be in pain again and you now have a beautiful angel watching over you.
Hugs to all the family and friends of Raven.
Rosemary & Rob (Holly’s grandparents)
Flo & Ed,

THE LOVE BETWEEN A MOTHER AND A DAUGHTER IS FOREVER…..
I see your teardrops falling
I hear you cry my name
I know you can not see me
but I hold you just the same
I watch as you lie abed
as restless as can be
I hear your whispered words
as you pray for dreams of me
every day for you is painful
each breath, each step you take
but as the wise mom I know
a future you will make
I envelope you in my love
as for me you use to do
it’s hard to see you in such pain
forever the strong one’s been you
although our lives’ journeys
have bid us to be apart
I am with you, you are with me
always in our hearts
Thoughts and prayers are with you and your family Adena..
