Mrs.Rachel Boggs=my loving kind Aunt, never a harsh word always love for God and family. My childhood memories fill my heart and mind, some of the best was visiting Uncle James and Aunt Rachel .She would always without fail call you "Honey or Sugar" with her deep southern accent, a smile on her face when you were happy or excited and concern when you were feeling hurt or down. Happy days filled my childhood at her home,I know I will one day see her smiling face,as promised by our Savior Jesus Christ ! Cry we will ,but celebrate her life we must.I love you Aunt Rachel ,and will keep you in my heart for infinity.
