To the family of Rachel Harris:
The word of God tells us "Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of one of His saints" He loved her he called her home, no more pain, or suffering. She is in the loving harms of our father! Praise God! I pray the comforter will strengthen, and encourage you all in your time of sorrw.

I would like to extend my heartfelt sympathy to the family. I realize your hearts are broken, because your matriarch is no longer with you. But the good news is, Rachel sailed into the horizon and JESUS was standing right there to meet her on the other side. Please continue to hold on to your faith and GOD will keep you in perfect peace.
