Stephenson, Raili M.

Please accept our heartfelt condolences. We are so sorry and wish we could be there for you. It was a great honor to say that we were friends to both of your parents. Raili and Jack will be missed.

Dear family,

My name is Mark Thurman. I'm the newest pastor of the United Methodist Church here in Riverton. My family and I moved here last summer. We had a few occasions to visit Raili at her home and found her to be a very friendly and colorful hostess. She told us some great stories about her life and, particularly, some interesting, kind of mystical, religious experiences she had. Upon hearing the church's need for a new nursery crib, she very generously donated on she had been storing in her garage. It will be in use for years to come. I'm sorry I was not aware of her death or dying. I think the last time I visited was earlier this year, maybe around March-April? I hope she passed in peace. She is remembered fondly by those who knew her back in the day. Our prayers are with you all.
