Personal note from Deah & Sonya

We plan to celebrate Raylene’s life — not mourn her passing.
Please come hungry and dressed in whatever keeps you comfortable for Texas weather. We will share a meal, spend time together, and honor her in a joyful way.

We would also like to invite everyone to share their memories of Raylene during the celebration. Anyone who feels moved to speak is welcome to share — funny memories, meaningful ones, unexpected moments, or even simple stories. If it reminds you of her, we would love to hear it.

Raylene left us far too soon, but her joy, humor, kindness, and love live on in the memories we carry. By hearing these stories, we not only get to relive the joy she brought into each of our lives, but we also create new memories together. Your stories will help sustain us as we move forward into a world without her earthly presence, and they will help keep her spirit alive in all the ways that truly mattered.

Wanted to just share some hotel information, there are 2 hotels in Luling, I believe we have some people staying in both.

La Quinta Inn and Suites - (830)351-5320
Best Western Plus Longhorn Inn and Suites - (830)351-5599

If you need to contact me for any questions etc. please send them to deah.marie82@gmail.com
