I truly miss my best friend and nrighbour of over 10 years. Rachel was like a second Mom to Greg and myself. We had an open door policy day or night. We shared a many good times through laughter, tears, and upsets. Enjoyed sharing dinners, casino nights, and I taking baking treats over. Rachel you are truly missed. I'll keep an eye on Ray for you.

Missing my “tea partner”, “purple hair appt companion”, “let’s go check this out, then have lunch”, “daily phone calls”, “giving / supporting with my medical advice”, “laughs / chats / bitch sessions”, “recipe swapping”, “dinners / card playing” - I’m missing my friend! 💜💜💔
All my condolences to all your family ❤️
