After three years we still miss her wave when she would see us outside and she would say hello neighbor. Rachel and Houston were great neighbors. We miss Houston but we know they are happy now that they are together again. We also miss Beverly, she and Michael took great care of their dad. Ricky and I wish all of Houston, Rachel and Beverly's families a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and we continue to keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers!!

Psalm 116:15 Precious in the sight of the LORD is the death of His saints. This verse of scripture describes Rachel. When I was born Rachel was chosen by my parents to be my nanny. Rachel showered me with love, affection, nurturing, cuddling, and singing. Throughout the years, Rachel, Houston, and her family remained a part of our family. To me, I have lost a beautiful Christian lady in my life. My sympathy and love to all of you, Mollie Appelman.

Rachel was an angel on earth and now she is an angel in Heaven -- she and Mom are probably catching up right this minute and just talking their heads off! My deepest sympathies and much love to Houston, Ida, Wanda and all of Rachel's beautiful family.
