    Rachael was more than a Mother-In-Law, she was a friend. She was great to talk to and was never judgmental.She always had good stories too. I'm so sorry and regretful that I didn't get the chance to talk to her one more time. Listening to Cheryl tell stories about Rachael brought back lots of fond memories of some of the stories Rachael told me, and also the stories John told me about her and the family. I know she is enjoying being in the presence of Jesus right now. I know this is a hard time for you all and I'm praying for you all. Love Dorothy - (Annie).

    Rachael what can I say. You always were there for us kids. Taking us young kids to church events. Roller skating in Hayward, sport functions, whatever there was to do. You will be missed. To the family you're all in my thoughts and prayers. I'm sorry for your loss. Rachel is with The Lord now. My heart goes out to you.

    Rachel was such a huge part of my childhood and gave me so many wonderful memories. I can remember our trips to Lake Elizabeth so vividly. She didn't have to be my Grandmother, but she chose to be anyway. That's exactly who she was. Someone that welcomed and embraced everyone with love. Always going an extra mile to help and give to others. I was lucky to have such a great woman set such a great example for me. I will always be grateful for that.

I can just imagine her smiling and laughing with her friends and family in Heaven. We are sorry for your loss. We are left with sadness, but her happiness in heaven helps us to celebrate with her.
