I learned of Rachel’s passing today. I am saddened to hear of her death and express my sincere sympathy to the family. Rachel was a colleague at Jefferson Regional Medical and Pine Bluff Imaging Center. I will forever have warmhearted memories of Rachel not only professionally but personally. She was a sweetheart. I offer particular compassion to Ray, Ms. Greene, Kavin, and Barbara who I also became very fond of through my association with “Rae Rae.” May God bless and sustain the family during this time of grief and sorrow.
