The death of someone dear to us is never easy. In this family, she was sister, mama, grandma, great-grandma, aunt, cousin, friend.... Whoever she was to you, just know that when Ms Rachel departed this earth, she never truly left if she is alive in your heart. Whenever life kicks you down and you not only adapt but bounce back, she lives through you; she modeled RESILIENCY. Everytime you make a joke about ... and laugh yourself in somber circumstances, she lives through you; she had an amazing sense of HUMOR.
When you come together as family and friends- over a meal, a cup of coffee, or conversation, she lives on through you; she was GENEROUS in every way with those she loved. Her life, her love, her legacy lives on through you, so live your best life! My condolences....

Our Thoughts and Prayers are extended to the family on the passing of your Mother, Sister, Grandmother, Aunt and Friend. May Ms. Rachel memories always be in your hearts. May God give you comfort and peace in the days to come.

John 14:1-4
Let not you hear be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whiter I go ye know, and the way ye know.

Psalm 116:15 declares:

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

I extend my heartfelt condolences to the family. Ms. Rachel was a beautiful woman both inside and out.
