Fantastic to see this. One of the few videos from 2012 having Raylene in it, before her too soon passing from cancer. She and John Morris are always missed!
To the best of my knowledge this was quite possibly her last public performance with her siblings, Jim, Cookie and Heather headed out West to start shows without her after this as she was in treatment, wasn't a high point for sure, tough year.
All of your Aunts and Uncles have left you with an amazing legacy Steven. Hopefully it brings you joy. I hope your cousin Alexander and his Dad are doing well too.
I hardly recognized any of the girls. They looked aged and spread. Jummy got fat too?? I almost thought that they were some other Rankin family members. There were more of them.
I hate to say it, but it looks like plastic surgery that aged poorly. Which is sad, because she was so pretty. But once people take up acting, there is a lot of pressure to do it.
@Maidenrulz73: I hope that you never have the need to walk through cancer with somebody that you love. If you do, you can pretty much guarantee that it won’t take long before you will not look as fresh or vibrant as you would like to. But it’s a whole lot better than losing out on the opportunity to spend the last bit of time with that person, and it’s a whole lot better than not doing all that you can to help them through it.❤️ All the same, she still sounds like a million bucks in this video.
Raylene had a pure voice so sorry we lost her to Cancer. The Rankin Family spirit lives on in our hearts the fans! ❤️❤️
there is nothing as pure as family harmony!!!

Thanks for your comment. Both Raylene and John Morris left all of us much too soon.
Heather appears really stressed...still giving it her all.
It was really sad for me because she was my aunt, and I’m not lying to get attention

Heather looking like she hasn't slept in 6 days.
Heather doesn’t look herself in this vid....like she doesn’t even want to be there
I don't see that at all.
Could be she was struggling with her sisters health problems.
