In Memory Of Raylene Rankin

[@sueweatherby3729]

She died FAR too soon, but definitely left her mark on the world. I'm thankful for that each time I listen to her music. She is missed.

[@cathybuchanan3774]

Such a stunningly beautiful voice.... I will never listen to Fare Thee Well Love again without crying for her and for John Morris.

[@robertgallant3886]

Beautiful, such a loss of a wonderful talent RIP Raylene !!

[@4boot]

Absolutely lovely to remember this absolutely lovely woman this way. I am blessed to have been touched by her radiant talent. Truly a great sadness she was snatched away. I weep. Steve

[@holychild1346]

My Dearest Raylene, you voice enchants me still,, ahhh, my heart was so broken at your passing - you come alive each time I hear you - a new dawn is coming soon,

[@cajunxxsunrise]

Totally Agree

[@astacey100]

We so loved the Rankin Family.We met when they came to Carbonear to the cbn folk festival in 1989.Their music,vocals and dancing spoke to us and said "be proud of your culture and ancestry"I "followed you around" for years and I enjoyed all your performances. Its so sad to lose John and Raylene .I hope to include a tribute piece to them in my next recording.Cookie Heather and jimmy-we still love you. Stacey Family.

[@piperstune]

They always have been a force in the Gaelic music place. Very, very, very, excellant

John, Mabou and Cape Breton have been taking a hit. John Allan, Rita, Raylene. Other top figure in Atlantic Music were Tom Connors as well recently, we lost Deny a few years back too. Its hard to grow older and see friends and Icons go. :(

I would love if you would put their cover song they did better than the gentleman who wrote and sang it Natives. It resounds today and I cry every time I listen to it on my CD.

Out of a supremely talented family she was the best and that's nothing against the rest of them because they were all great but she was the best
