I am so sorry I could not attend my cousin, Rachel’s, funeral. I remember her as always being such a happy go lucky person with a big smile on her face. I just came across a letter that Rachel wrote to me after my dad’s funeral. She said her and Charlotte and Rhoda were sitting around having coffee. I remember one time me and Olivine went swimming at the “creek” beside Kookom Sarah’s place. We had no bathing suits, we were quite poor. Rachel and Rhoda had bathing suits drying on the branches and we stole them. We went swimming in their bathing suits and they caught us!! Were they ever mad at us. We spent most summers playing with Rachel and Rhoda. I will miss her.
