I am so sorry for the loss of Rachel. I considered her to be a friend and we never spoke that she did not speak of her love for her family.

Katherine and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Rachel was a special lady and will be missed by all who knew her. I'll miss her sweet smile and always remember the testimony she gave at church several weeks ago and how happy she was. Cherish the precious memories..that does help. Warmest regards, Bo Butler

"No farewell words were spoken,
No chance to say goodbye. You were gone before I knew it, and
only God knows why".

I have lost a dear friend. To Katherine and the family, I share your loss. You will remain in my prayers.
