I have known Raelynn since her early years in Colorado Springs, Colorado. She has always been a kind and gentle soul. I admired her mother and loved how gentle Raelyn cared for her mother. Seeing the both of them at gospel meetings and seeing the warmth between mother and daughter was heartwarming and uplifting. One of the last personal touches I had with her was at convention when she told me of a connection, I had with her via one of her in-laws. It was a precious moment to discover we had such a link. She is missed. I pray for the best of all days, through the strength of the Lord, for the family. Sincerely, Denver Hayes, Ed.D.
