I remember Rae Jean very well. She helped tutor me with math class, and was in the MDT classroom at Washington High School. I really enjoyed her sense of humor and sending condolences.

When I think of Rae Jean, one word comes to mind to describe her - GOOD! She was a good wife, a good Mother, a good Catholic, a good neighbor, and a good friend. Rae Jean had a pure heart ❤️ May God hold her in the palm of His hand.

Dear Bill and Family;
For years every time I drove down 2nd Ave, towards 29th St, I thought of Rae Jean and picking her up for some school event at Regis. We also connected when our boys played basketball at WHS. Such a sweet and gentle person. Lovely memories, blessings to you Bill and the kids.

Bill and Yakish family.
So sorry for your loss. I wasn't aware of the situation, but good to know that she had the best care available at the last. I'm sorry due to physical problems I'm having I won't be able to attend the visitation or funeral but know you're in my thoughts.

My wife Kay and I would like to share our sincere condolences to the Yakish family. We first met Rae Jean when Kay used to babysit the Yakish boys. In later years we'd see her smiling face at the casino. If Keno is played in heaven, I know where she can be found.

I was very saddened to read in the Gazette this morning about Mrs. Yakish’s death. I hadn’t seen her in a long time so hadn’t known that she was ill. I remember her and Bill being so attentive to her parents Jean and Ray Struve at Saint Matthew Masses, especially as they became more frail and elderly. It was obvious that she was a very nice person. To Bill and her entire family you have my deepest sympathy.

Bill, children and grand children
Our hearts go out to all of you. Rae Jean will be greatly missed. As neighbors we enjoyed great conversations and an occasional glass of wine with this sweet gentle woman. Rae Jean will not only be missed at home with family but the entire neighborhood is losing a great neighbor. Bill, don’t hesitate to call or stop by if you need anything.

Your mom was a wonderful woman. Will always remember all the family gatherings at the lone tree community center back in the 80s and early 90s. Along with all the weddings. Many hugs to all of you. She will always be with you in your heart and mind.
