Sincerest sympathy and condolences to Rachael’s daughters, son, grandchildren, great grandchildren and family. I worked with Rachael for many years at U.S. Motors in Milford. She was a true friend and I enjoyed the many conversations we had. All of her co-workers always had wonderful things to say about her. Pray for her always, because she can do more for you now, than if she was here. God’s blessings be with all of you and to my Dear Friend Rachael – GODSPEED.
Irene thank you for your kind words. I am the daughter that worked with mommy for a brief period of time at us motors. Everybody was so nice and friendly. Many blessings for your family.
