Our sincerest condolences to the family. Rachel was in every sense of the word our sister. We were members of the Disciple Women's Ministry together for many years. We met 2 times a month to share feelings, exchange views, laugh together, pray and sometimes cry together, and share hugs. Rachel was also our zoom Sunday school teacher. Words cannot express how much we loved and adored her. God has truly gained an angel.
