I am so sorry to hear of beautiful Rachel's passing. My Mother, Ann Quinton Williams and Rachel's dear Mother, known as Doodle to many, were best friends. Rachel and i were born two months apart and I have very fond memories of visiting the family in our younger years. Rachel was a lovely, joyful and dear person. May the family find peace.
