So sorry for your loss. Whenever I would visit Auntie Toun with my Mom and my two daughters, it seemed we always ended up visiting your parents.
Rachel and Ray were special people and I only wish there were more like them in this world.

It is with profound sadness that I received the news of Rachel's passing. I wish I could be with you to share in the celebration of her life with you. The weather an distance prevents me from joining you. My sympathy and prayers are with you. I know that life has been a struggle for her the last several years but she is finally at peace. Hal is to convey my condolences in person. I plan to make a donation in memory of Rachel the next time I am in Richmond.

My deepest sympathy for your loss. What wonderful memories I have of Rachel. She was my cousin but often my guardian because of our age difference. She will be fondly remembered. Unfortunately I cannot attend the funeral since I am in the Caribbean.
