My sympathies to Patsy, Sharon and Todd and their families. She was like an older sister to me. Kept an eye on me as we walked the almost 2 miles to Fairview School on Ridge Road. Her home was always so welcoming. I know you all will miss her greatly, but it’s now your turn to carry on her legacy and love for Jesus.

Rachel was kind enough to hire me as a dishwasher at the Farm Diner when I was 14 years old. That job allowed me to save for my first car. I always appreciated her hiring me for my first job.
