We were so sorry to hear about Rachel's passing. She and Jim were wonderful next door neighbors in 1958-1963. Even after moving from the area we were never too far away in miles, and in touch often. We will miss her smile and I will miss the phone calls to Maryland just to say hello. Our condolences to Jeff, Page, Anne, and Sarah in the loss of their Mother, and grandmother. She loved her family, dearly.
