Mary was a friendly, congenial person.
Glad she taught at EDSS.
My deepest sympathy to the family

Although I really only got to know Raina in her later years we spent lots of time at the bridge table. I found her to be caring and clever on many ways. She very much enjoyed playing bridge and listening to classical music. I know she had other interests as well but those were 2 of which I was aware. May she rest in peace.
My condolences to Pat, Jason, Ali and all the family on the loss of Mary. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Raina was a member of our bridge club and helped many learners. She was also a very kind and thoughtful person. When I was home recovering from surgery, she visited me and brought a get well card from the newer bridge players. I have never forgotten her visit and her kindness.
She will be missed but fondly remembered by many.

My profuse condolences go out to the King / Moffat Family.
Raina I never had the chance to say goodbye, but I wanted you to know I loved you just the same as if you were my own aunt Raina.
I will miss the days of going for lunch with Pat and yourself. You were always there for me Raina and I want you to know it was always appreciated Raina god bless you rest in peace
Sincerely Sean Kemsley

Raina was a tremendous talent and teacher at our bridge club. She had great patience with those trying to learn the game. She spent hours and hours, putting together bridge hands to illustrate things that needed to be learned and revising her notes. She will be greatly missed.
