Rachel was for years my mother's dearest friend. They always had so much fun together and enjoyed their morning walks in the Cary Mall. May she rest in peace. Blessings to her family. Jeanne Smith Piland

Rachel was a good friend to my mother Alethia Smith. My sister Jeanne Piland and I visited Rachael after mother died when she was still living alone and again in the senior living home. Wish we could have seen her more. She was a lovely lady.

Rachel was a dedicated Mother-in-Law, grandmother to my son Christopher, and friend to me. She was also a very fine lady who placed family above everything in her life and will be missed by both family, church family, and friends. Thank you Rachel.
Much love,
