Family, I am so sorry for your loss. Although the rest of the family feels the loss too in different ways, your loss is greatest. Rachel was a great cousin. We were not close but there is not a memory I have of her that she is not laughing - not just smiling but laughing big and loud! What great memories for me! I hope your good memories will help ease the sad, hurtful ones. May God ease your pain as he has with Rachel. As always, you are each in my prayers.

Randy and Tonya,

I was shocked to hear of your loss. I alway remember Rachel with fondness. I can still remember sitting in your kitchen and laughing with her at the traveling Rainbow Christmas. I alway admired her craftyness. She was a fun lady. Remember that time will heal the pain and memories will sustain you. Our thoughts are with you.

Randy, I was both shocked and saddened to hear of the loss of your wife. Thirty years is a long time. But, you've got kids and grandkids to help get you get though this. Plus, you've got all of the memories.

I'm thinking of you and praying for you and you're family. And I miss seeing you and so many of the others I worked with so closely all those years.
