Dear Charlie and family,
We were so sorry to hear about Rachel. Such a wonderful sweet caring soul. Kevin and I have such fond memories of her from his early days at Southern Towing. She had a beautiful smile and great laugh. She was especially sweet to my three kids whenever we happened by the office or at the annual Christmas party.
We wish you comfort in all the love she shared. Our deepest sympathy and prayers during this difficult time. Sincerely, Kevin and Cheri Conway.
