Rick, Donna, and Family: I am so so sorry to hear about Rachel's passing. I just found out today or I would have been there. She was an absolute Godsend in helping with some pictures and information when we were planning my parents 50th Anniversary party last September. Her personality was so cheerful and bold!! I loved her spirit of life. She will be missed terribly. Again I am so sorry for your loss. Prayers to you all.

My sincere condolences to Rachel's family. I knew her parents and brother and attended Mt. Carmel UMC with Rachel when we were children. I got to know her again in later years when we were both adults and I would return to Jonesboro and visit Mt. Carmel Church.
She had a winning personality and was an all around lovely lady, who will be missed by all. My prayers are with you.

I knew Rachel while attending Mt. Carmel United Methodist Church when I was younger. I graduated with her son Ricky, from Valley View High School. Rachel was the nicest lady..with a smile worth millions. My parents, Jim and Joanna were lucky enough to see her at church just the other day. My heart goes out to Ricky, Donna and their family. Best, Cindy
