My heart is so sad, but it brightens when I remember lovely times shared in Aunt Rajean’s home and what a wonderful hostess she was. Her laughter and smile lit up a room. She loved sincerely, and you are loved, dear Nickey family.

To the family of Rajean Nickey. While I only met Rajean on a few occasions, I remember she and Robert buying child’s rockers for grandchildren from Martin’s Chair over several years some of which I delivered to her OC,NJ shore home. She and Robert were always gracious people. I also miss kabitizing with Robert in front of Oves on the boardwalk and the wooden bowls he turned. My condolences to the Nickey family as you cherish the many memories of Rajean. Sincerely, Gary Sensenich
