Rayma Sue Tyson was the “BEST” Stepmom ever!
She was interesting, inspiring, a life-long student on many subjects.
That saying “Face your fears” is so true.
It is not easy or a comfortable undertaking, however, taking the action offers freedom with life rewards.
As the saying reads “Faith without action is dead”
Rayma Sue continued to grow strong and her life is the example of the actions she took.
Her inner strength also came from her relationship with her Higher Power.
Until we meet again on the other side
Rest in Peace my Fabulous Sue

What an example of strength Rayma was to me. I knew her but a relatively short time, yet she impacted me significantly. My heart hurts for you all. May you be comforted in the coming days, weeks and months knowing she is loved well and in her heavenly home…never to grief or hurt again,
Sincerely,
Diana Fuller
