Dear John and Rayleens family. My very deepest sympathy to you all after the loss of Rayleen. I worked with Rayleen at Vinnies Op Shop in Greymouth a few years ago, and we really enjoyed our time working together. We had lots of fun. Sending you all my love at this sad time. R.I.P my lovely friend, you have earned your rest.
So sad to read this, much love to John and all Rayleens family xx ❤️
John and the rest of Rayleen’s family, it has been a real privilege to have been able to call Rayleen a friend. I hope there is a decent bird population in Heaven because Rayleen will have names,for them all and they will be well fed. John you only have to ask and my car (Chatty Kathy) will be there for you. Thinking of you from me and Zane.❤️
To Rayleen loved ones

May you all take some comfort in your lovely memories made throughout Rayleen’s lifetime and in the knowledge that others care and think of you all at this time. Much love to you all at this time and in the days ahead.
