It was sad to hear the news, but with Gods help you will perservere. I know Rachel has moved on to be in a better place, and she will be dearly missed. I remember those times in Florida and the more recent trip to Virginia. It seems we don't see each other enough, but the times are always cherished. This was partly due to Rachel's good nature. God Bless. You and your family are in our prayers.

Mr, Stonelake, Nikki, Chris and Brandy

There are no words I can say that will completely take the pain of such a loss away. We can take comfort knowing that she is in a better place and is at peace now. Know that we never get over this we with the grace of God get through it somehow. Rachel was a very special person. I remember meeting her the first time when my father was in the hospital with heart surgery. Mr. Stonelake was in his drawers and she told me to please excuse him with a hearty laugh. She said some very comforting things to me that helped me through that tough time. She was definately a angel. Brandy know this and rejoice in the time you had with her. Every day from here forward do what you can to make grandma proud.
