I knew Raini many years ago. She knew my husband at the time Heinz. We had many visits with her and Dick Butler.  I am so shocked to hear of her passing. I just thought Raini would be here always. Raini was a special person and a gift to all. We could talk so easily . I remember when Raini met Richard. She was so happy and excited to have the love of her life. She was planning the wedding. It all seems like yesterday. May Raini have peace. Raini was taken to soon. 

Richard, I'm so sorry for your loss. I will never forget the day I met Raini, she was so vibrant and had wonderful energy. I will always remember her that way. Love to you and your family.

Raini Aulikki !

1.Tessalonikalaiskirjeen 4:13,14 sanoin:
Emme tahdo teidän olevan tietämättömiä niistä, jotka nukkuvat kuolemassa, jottette surisi niin kuin muut , joilla ei ole toivoa.
Sillä jos uskomme, että Jeesus kuoli ja nousi jälleen, niin samoin Jumala tuo  myös Jeesuksen kautta poisnukahtaneet hänen ohellaan.

Richard & Family, Condolences, it was an honor to have known her.

Richard and family, my heart is shattered by Raini's death. We were friends for a very long time and this will be a great void in my life. Having just gone through this not that long ago with Jim, the wound has just been reopened. I will keep this short, just remember that with death comes a heartache that no one can heal, but also remember that love leaves us with memories that no one can steal . I have you in my thoughts and prayers always.

Raini's mother, my grandmother, told me years ago about Raini's childhood. She told that Raini was in a hurry to wake up early every morning because she was so interested to find out what the day will bring her. And according to grandma Raini's days were full of happenings and surprises. In the same way she lived her whole life, full of energy and enthusiastic and inquisitive about life. We all have great memories of Raini, let those memories comfort us and give us courage to really live. Our deepest sympathies to Richard and family. Malla, Mika, Joel, Ida and Otto

Lämmöllä muistelen sisartani,  hän oli vain 18 vuotias kun kiihkeästi halusi lähteä suureen maailmaan toteuttamaan unelmiaan ja varmasti hän eli täysillä koko elämänsä ajan. Isosiskona muistan hänet melkein koko hänen elämänsä ajalta, vaikka välimatka esti että emme kovin usein nähneet muistoja on silti kertynyt paljon, ja muistoista aika rakentaa lohdutuksen. Näimme viimeksi kaksi vuotta sitten jolloin hänellä oli suuri suru Rexin menetyksestä, vaikka yrittikin olla kovin urhea näimme kuinka raskas tuo menetys oli. Sairaus varjosti hänen elämäänsä mutta hän toipui ja jatkoi täysillä, niinpä toivoimme nytkin että hän toipuisi mutta toisin kävi, meidän viimeiset muistelot jäi väliin. Emme jaksaneet lähteä Kanadaan että olisimme voineet vielä nähdä hänet. En jaksa oikein edes vielä uskoa että häntä ei enää ole. Mutta muistot elää. Näkemiin/good-bye Sister Raini,    Raija ja Osmo

Richard and Family
Thank you for letting me know of Raini's passing.  She was a "force", smart, caring, compassionate.  Although those we love leave this earth they are always with us.
Darleen Butler, Regina

Richard, sending my deepest condolences. Raini was an amazing woman with the kindest heart. I always enjoyed our visits when I was younger. She was always so happy and full of light!  Sending lots of love and prayers to you and the family during this hard time.

May God bless your soul Raini and those lives whom you blessed with your extraordinary whit, compassion, humour, style, impeccable grace and understated elegance, class and love of understated antiques made with qualities you possess.  Not able to say goodbye yet, or let go at this point in time.  We all grieve at the loss of you and your vivacious spirit yet revel in the blessing of memories of your incredible you.  I miss you Raini.

Richard, my heart is heavy as I search for words to extend at this deeply intimate, unforgiving loss and bereavement placed on you.   Words seem ineffectual and inadequate to express what we truly wish to extend on your loss of a love so great, pure, honest and vibrant!!   We all watched from the sidelines this magnificent love, respect, kindness and courage you both shared so freely to each other and those blessed to share in your great love story!!   Richard, you both exuded an aura to all who knew you and it bought love, hope, laughter and strength to all of your family, immediate, extended, blended with love and a large blessing of grace.   You have been asked to withstand a loss so great, but God will bless you with grace to withstand and bend like a tree in a hurricane and stand tall.  The loss of Rex was so profound for Raini, and you as well but you stood strong for her and now please, give yourself the same love, understanding, grace and patience you gave to her during that loss which I know was unfathomable.    We love you Richard.  I hope Raini was able to finish her book on her life.   She was an amazing woman with a story of love, determination, grace, Christian steadfast love and reverence, and a real story of having a dream, and piece by piece through planning, education, hard work, exceptional work ethic, honour and respect for self and others realizing that dream.  Our thoughts are with you Richard and our prayers for comfort during this inconsolable and unimaginable loss of your great love which was Raini.   Bless you Richard and may her soul soar!!   Love from Teuvo, Deborah, Kiayla, Dalton, Miya, Coco, Nigel, Brooklyn Harlow, and Taylor Donai. XOXOXOXO.

My deepest sympathy to Richard and family.
Raini was a loving woman very committed to
family and friends. She is now at peace
with her son Rex.

The first time I saw Raini I saw long blonde hair, blue eyes and sunshine. I saw strength, beauty and pride. Almost 50 years later my first impressions were right. Strength, pride, resolve, beauty, and yes, blonde hair and blue eyes. She possessed a quiet confidence, a steady gaze. I loved her magnanimous nature, and  I'm a better man for having her in my life. My heartfelt sympathy goes out to her partner in life, Richard and her Finnish family. " I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on the snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain " Thank you Raini and God Bless.

   Good bye dear cousin. You led the way to British Columbia...we all followed....cousin.Eero with his wife Donna...cousin Larry ....aunt Meeri...and myself cousin Teuvo. Now you are again leading the way. Until we meet again.                                                                                                                                                                             Teuvo Kuitunen and Family

As a teenager Raini had said to her cousin: Minä haluan hurjan elämän! meaning I want a life full of excitement!. Reminiscing about Aunt Raini makes me think of excitement, adventures, laughter, courage, bold moves, positive energy, hard work, high heels, beauty, kindness, love Truly a life lived to the fullest. I will dearly and deeply miss my Aunt and hope to carry on a bit of her exceptionally unique spirit. All my love to Richard and rest of the family on the other side of the world.

Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glint on the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle spring rain. When you wake in the morning hush I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight, I am the soft starlight an night, Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there - I do not sleep.

Our condolences to you Richard and your family. Raini had a beautiful soul,full of love and faith. Raini was a much loved member of our family, she will be forever in our hearts.

With our deepest sympathy to you Richard and family.
May you find comfort in knowing that Raini will always be 
remembered in our hearts for the wonderful and kind person
she was. May you draw strength from family and friends as you
go through this difficult time.
Rest in beautiful peace Raini.

Kiitos ja siunaus hiljainen myötä,
matkalle, missä ei tuskaa, ei yötä.

Lämmöllä muistaen,
Sanna Lensu, Suomi, Finland

My deepest sympathies go out to you Richard. I truly know what you are going through. She certainly touched my life as I have known her for 43 years, both as a friend and in business.

I am the most blessed husband on earth. For 20 wonderful years, I was married to Raini. There is no more pure, kind, generous, loving, and Christian wife than her. My heart is utterly broken. I will miss her every minute of every day until I join her in Heaven to be with our Lord & Savior. I know she is at peace now, the ravages of her disease are gone. I hope that I will always make her proud in whatever life is left to me on this earth. Farewell, for now, my darling, I love you.

Our deepest condolences Richard, Raini was one of the most beautiful ladies I have ever had the pleasure to know. She was so kind and giving and was always willing to listen. Beautiful soul rest in peace xo Love Melissa, Ashley, Dante and Angelina Peters

Our deepest condolences to you Richard...Immi...and family...Raini was an incredible friend and woman who left a lasting imprint into our lives...she will be greatly missed...rest easy Raini...

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

Deepest Condolences, our thoughts & prayers are with you. Rest in Peace Raini, your strength was  admired. Love Les

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.
