With Heart-Felt Sympathy, Love and Prayers 🙏. Wonderful childhood memories of visiting “Dee & Rachel”. My Mom & Dad were good friends with them. Rachel was such a kind woman. It is a comfort to know she is now with our Lord. No more pain or suffering; joining other loved ones. Gail, Rickie, & Johnna my heart aches for you. Matthew 5:4 ” Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.” Grief is the price we pay for loving someone. What a blessing to have had the love and friendship of Rachel Moore. She will always be missed by those fortunate to have known her. (From the family of Charlie F. Dunlap) Lillie McQueen Dunlap, Grace Dunlap Stevens, Larry Allen Dunlap, Sherry Lynn Lee & Joseph.
