Rachel was a mother and a good friend. We spent hours around her kitchen table and on the phone. She loved all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren dearly. I will always remember her as a sassy, gorgeous lady with a beautiful smile. Her last words were "pray for me" in our most recent conversation. I pray, you rest well in heaven my dear friend as my heart is heavy. You will be missed.
Love you
