My heart is heavy with the news of Rachel's passing. What a truly remarkable woman who brought joy and comfort to everything she touched. I'm heartbroken that I missed her wake and funeral but just heard the news this evening. I'm' thinking of her entire family who she loved so much. She will be missed tremendously.
Love,
