Our dearly beloved daughter Rachel you are greatly missed!! You gained a bonus Mom{Momma Carmen} that loves you unconditionally and she gained a{DAUGHTER}. . I remember when you came to our wedding what a special day that was.

Rachel had many gifts and one of them was "singing", as her voice pierced the room she sang "Amazing Grace" at her grandfather's Roscoe Eugene McNish homegoing. She LOVED her Papa and he loved her.

Everyone grieves differently so cry, scream, run and release the tears, don't suppress it. It'll hit you at different times on this journey called life. Just know death is NOT the end.
It's only a transition to eternal life.
Eternally yours,
~David & Carmen McNish
