Rachel and Don were one of the first friends we made when we moved to the NW in 1978. We had a lot of fun times together. We kept in touch with Rachel over the years through Christmas cards. We thought of her often.
We are unable to come to her Memorial as we are in Virginia visiting our daughter but our thoughts and prayers are with the family and Rachel and Don will always be part of our fondest memories and in our hearts. Much Love and condolences, Lynn and Curt Reuter
