So sorry to hearvthis. Havent seen her in years but as soon as I saw her picture I remembered her from West Edgecombe. She was the sweetest & most caring lady I had the pleasure of meeting.
I also remember how sweet and always had a smile for you. She always had time to say hello to you and made you feel so good just talking to her.
I went to school with her son. She was always very nice to me anytime I went by the house. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.
Mr. Charles, I am so sorry for your loss. It was very touching to see your devotion to Ms. Rachel. May God give you and your family strength during the difficult time ahead.
Rachel was a special lady she was friendly and always kind to everyone………Not only at School but at the yard sales when I would see her.I went to West Edgecombe School she was a sweet person a true gift from God.God has a special place for this special Lady. She deserves it. May God be with your Family..
So sorry for your loss Tina. Praying go you and your family. Donna Woodcock Price
There are many memories from my childhood that are vivid, but none stronger from my school days than the sweet smile and even sweeter personality of this woman. I am sure the joy and happiness she brought to thousands of school children through the years was felt a hundred fold by her family and friends. May Gods peace be with you all as you send her home to heaven.
I am so sorry to read this.I will always remember her kindiness. I was from afar, but I go back as far as living beside her dad store. She did so much for Ms. Fannie. I really believe she loved her. She was so kind. Fellcia Dianne Boddie

What a lovely and touching tribute video of such a sweet and special lady! May you continue to find comfort in knowing that you will be reunited one day. Our love and deepest condolences, John and Jennifer Whichard
My condolences to the family. Take comfort from Gods word the Bible. This is a distress time for the family but in Psalms 461 it states God is our refuge and strength, A help that is readily found in times of distress. Also it is so encouraging to read Isiah 258 which states He will swallow up death forever, And the Sovereign Lord Jehovah will wipe away the tears from all faces. What a wonderful blessing for your and your entire family to enjoy.
She always had a smile for every student that came through her line. There are some people you will never forget and smile when you think about them. She is one of those people.
