Although in recent years, we weren’t a part of each other’s daily lives. I was fortunate that we were recently able to reconnect, even though it was under unfortunate circumstances. After Frankie Cocktails passing, Rajene was still such an amazing friend to me, it was as if no time had lapsed. I’m so grateful that she was there for me, at a time when I was unusually and extremely vulnerable. Even though she too was grieving, she had such a strong presence of mind, knowledge and compassion. And gave me her warm and insightful council. I will never forget the phone conversation that we had that morning. And how much she helped me.
I will also never forget all of the MANY other wonderful memories and times, that we had together. I still and will continue to tell her crazy stories and anecdotes (The “maid”, dressed as CHER)! Use her uniquely funny expressions. (BOOZANGA)! And be proud that I danced as one of her Harajuku Girls. Also, that we shared our birth date.
So much history there.
I’m going to sorely miss the loving, friendly, sharp witted, unconditional, conditional, fierce tempered, perceptive, wise, generous, giving, funny as fuck, and “EASY BREEZY”, person that was Rajene.
Farewell Ray, rest well.
