In Rae’s own words “If you wish make a donation to your favourite charity. Better still, find someone less fortunate than you and put some groceries in his cupboard or a few chickens in his freezer. Maybe find someone who is not able but would like his lawn cut or his garden hoed.” To express your condolences, please visit www.hillcrestfuneralhome.ca.
