My heartfelt sympathy to all who loved Rachel, mother, grandmother and a gift to many on this earth. I never knew her personally, but, listening to her son Kim, her golden heart, her staunch courage and her love of her family and those dear to her, told me what a wonderful woman has been sent to God. Weep not for her, but for the people for whom her loss is great. She is with God, happy and content, out of pain and living in His glory. I will keep all of you in my prayers.
