Michael,
I am sorry to hear about the passing of Raisy.
I served on the Lopatcong Board of Education with Raisy for many years. She was an inspiration to me, and I think about her often. She really made a difference and I will miss her.

Michael and Ulvia and families: So sorry for your loss. She was quite the bundle of energy when your Dad was still alive, and I was not surprised to see that she made it to 95! I wish all of you God’s Peace at this difficult time and the months ahead. Fondly, Barb Seifert-Sigmon

To Michael and Ulvia, your mother was one of a kind. She always had something nice to say. Always asking how my mom and dad were doing. So many great memories growing up in Lopatcong. She will be missed. God Bless you in your time of grief. Prayers from the Klines
