Rachel was so lively and fun, and I always admired her. I can remember her walking up Center Ave. in Mt. Vernon from Parnassus Jr. High every day at lunch time. It was so good to have a visit with her at the Ken Hi 2000 Reunion.

Your mum was a wonderful woman. I have very fond memories from my childhood visiting your house in Lower Burrell at Christmas with my family when we came to visit from Johnstown. I owned a house a block away from your old place a few years ago and now live in NC with my own mother. So sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers.
