May 24, 2017 at 3:35 pmMy deepest sympathies to the Rawe family. She was my Dad’s sister and he died 3 months to the day prior to Mary. I didn’t know Mary well but I remember our visit to the families as children and I have fond memories of the entire trip. What a gang we made Mary’s 13 children and Jerry Erpenbeck’s 8 children. They are both with our maker now and we all will miss them dearly. God bless all the Race’s.

May 24, 2017 at 3:45 pmWe have lost two of the finest Erpenbeck’s in the last 3 months. My deepest condolenses to all of the Rawe’s family. Mary will be sorely missed and certainly was one of the nicest people I remember meeting years ago on our family reunion visit. Hope the boys are still playing golf. I remember playing with several of them God rest Mary’s soul.
