February 14, 1979 - March 17, 2019

When I think on our time, our memories, I smile. The legacy that you leave behind is one that will never be forgotten. Your sons, your grandsons, your family, your friends all say the same thing about you, how great a man you were and how selfless you were with your actions. You were taken too soon but as the Bible says, We would rather be away from these earthly bodies, for then we will be at home with the Lord.2 corinthians 5:8.This is from me to you, Dad, the memories the years you have been an influence on my life.The impact that you had, the memories shared I know I didn’t say I love you as much as I should have,but I know you knew I did. So with this I want to be a witness of what you did in my life and in my family's life. You left a lot of good in me, in my mother, in my brother, and in everyone around you we live each day knowing your memory still lives with us. It’s tough to let go it hurts to let go but we know he’s not far away because he is in our heart , we may not be able to see him but when we see things that remind us of him we can relive those precious moments and precious memories to life we can bring him to life in moments. From the first time to he and I played Madden together and he whopped my butt and let me know about it till just the other day. Today is a day of memory let’s be happy for the things we shared ,let’s be happy for the times he gave us, let’s be happy in celebrating the man for who he was and who he continues to be in our heart. We welcome for you to share those memories and thoughts to relive those things help give each other comfort and strength. Comfort comes from God I want to say thank you God for giving us Wayne.
I love you, Dad. You will always be the memory of everything I do.

Francis Rayne Motheral
June 7, 1926 – March 12, 2019

Rayne was born June 7, 1926, to LT Ricks and Edward Albert Motheral in Yuba City, California. Lt raised Rayne and his brother, Gail, with whom he was very close, in the San Joaquin Valley. Upon graduating from Caruthers High School, Gail went into the Coast Guard, while Rayne joined the Marines.  His tour of duty consisted of mop up operations in Guam and Hiroshima at the close of WWII.

Using the GI bill, Rayne entered UC Berkeley, and graduated with a degree in biology. While at Cal, he became a founding member of the UC hiking club and participated with members climbing in Yosemite. At that time, gear was basic, consisting of tennis shoes and hemp ropes with real nuts and bolts for protection.  Up until recently, early members of the UC Hiking club held reunions every year in a wilderness area- sixty plus years of sustained friendship!  Climbing stuck with Rayne, and he submitted many peaks, including Aconcagua, Kilimanjaro twice, and Mt. McKinley with the Canyon Explorers club.  A less successful climb was an attempt of Peak Communism where his team aborted in order to assist another expedition in trouble.   

Rayne met Shirley Lewis in the hiking club. they were married June 9, 1951.  He hoped to utilize his biology degree in the forest service, but jobs were unavailable.  Seeing a recruitment poster for firefighters in Los Angeles, Rayne jumped at the opportunity; he and Shirley moved from Berkeley to LA where they raised their children, Margaret, Bob, and David. He was a family man and good provider.  Rayne worked his way up the ranks of the LA city firefighters from rookie to battalion chief, retiring in 1988.  

At this point in his life, he started leading safaris to Kenya.  Sadly. Shirley became ill on one of those trips and passed a few months later.  I had met Rayne climbing Denali and joined him on that safari.  We subsequently married.  We had a lot in common: similar political and religious views, graduation from Cal, mountaineering, reading, and travel, which we enjoyed extensively throughout our thirty one years of marriage.  

Rayne had a great sense of humor and equanimity which undoubtedly served him well in fire department management positions and made him popular with friends.  he passed March 12, 2019, due to pneumonia.  

Besides me, Rayne is survived by Margaret, her daughters Angela and Jordana Berliner, Bob; Dave, his wife Sharon and their kids, Sara Allen, Jamie, and Daniel; Sara's husband Jason, and Rayne's great grandkids, Sierra and James Allen.

Catherine “Kitty” Casseday
                             
December 9, 1930 - March 7, 2019

Life Tribute

It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of a dear and precious soul we all loved. Catherine “Kitty” Casseday left us on March 7th, 2019, although her beaming smile, positive outlook and the memory of her bright blue eyes remains with us forever. Her last hours were spent with her devoted daughter Michaele and son-in-law Peter holding her hand and assuring her that she was safe and her journey to the Lord would be an easy one. Her prayers were answered with a tranquil, peaceful passing early in the morning on a bright sunny day filled with blue skies, white billowing clouds and butterflies, three of her most favorite things.

Kitty recently said “I have a good life” and that she did. Kitty entered this world Tuesday, December 9th , 1930, to parents Pete and Clara Miller on their working farm in Leavenworth County Kansas. She was one of 15 playful hard working children who grew up to share  amazingly fun stories of life on their farm. She cherished every moment and loved sharing her tales. Kitty has one remaining beloved brother, Leo Miller, and 56 nieces and nephews.  After moving to Riverside CA in her early twenties she joined St. Frances De Sales Ava Maria Sorority where she made life long friends of 67 years with whom she lunched with frequently. Kitty appreciated the quality of her life, her friends and the work she pursued for 37 years as an accountant at U. C. Riverside.  She spent many hours of volunteering at Riverside Community Hospital and the Riverside Cancer Society. In 1951 she met her life long love, James “Jim” Casseday, married in 1952 and enjoyed a beautiful marriage of 63 years, until Jim’s passing in 2015. Kitty was a wonderful mother of one daughter, Michaele, instilling in her the qualities of country life, social graces and catholic faith.   

Kitty will be missed by all, but mostly by her daughter who seldom left her side after she moved to Carlsbad in 2016 after Jim’s passing. She resided at the lovely Sunrise La Costa Community where she laughed with new friends, enjoyed live music and took frequent outings with Peter and Michaele, attending church weekly, watching the ocean and finding favorite restaurants.

You are invited to remember and celebrate Kitty’s life on Thursday, April 25th, 2019, 12:00 noon, at St. Thomas the Apostle Church, 3774 Jackson St., Riverside, CA 92503. The celebration of her gentle and kind soul will continue in the parish KDC Center and patio with the release of 88 butterflies representing her beautiful 88 years she spent with us. For those who will attend and those who won’t be able to attend, please know you were all very special in her life and her memories.  Kitty was filled with love and joy.
