We only knew Rachel for a short time when she became our neighbor on Grand Circle. And what a nice time we had with her "talking over the fence" on many occasions. And when she walked with her trainer, we gave them both biscotti as a reward. We only wish we could have had more time with her. God bless. Richard and James
Rachel was such a wonderful mother-in-law to me and grandparent to my children. I called her "Mom." She was my angel while I went through my doctoral program and took care of my son Gabe while I was in school. She left a loving and lasting impression on each member of our family and will be greatly missed.
Love you, Mom!
