We knew Rachel from Faith Baptist Church. The last few years I would see Rachel at Gull Lake Ministries Ladies Day. It was always a delight to see her there working for the Lord. I will remember that she always had a smile. She will be missed!

We met Rachel in 1972 at Faith Baptist Church and enjoyed our friendship. The last several years we were reacquainted at Calvary Baptist and have had many conversations. Rachel was always so happy especially when sharing family news...and hearing about our family. She will be greatly missed!
