Rachel, you were a very special lady to me. I'll miss you.##imported-begin##Jerry Goss##imported-end##
Aunt Rachel,
I will miss your positive encouragement, your silly jokes, and seeing your steadfast faith in the Lord lived out. Etched in my mind is our family trip to Santo Domingo in 1973; Uncle Einar's wild car rides, swimming in the warm, tropical waters, learning how to fry platanos (plantains), bathing under the downspouts. I was even tempted to stay with you and teach in the English school. Thank you for such fond memories and the strong family ties you helped cutivate.
Your loving niece,
Beverly##imported-begin##Bev Gelderman##imported-end##
Rachel, I am so honored to have known you, your husband Einar, your siblings, your children, and most of all your son Larry. You gave him a wonderful childhood and instilled in him great values that are core to being the kind man and good husband that he is. In your home, you made me feel so welcome, from the first visit until the last. Your family is so loving, and sets such a great example of kindness towards others, always giving, always humble. Thank you Rachel. With love, Kristine##imported-begin##Kristine Peterson##imported-end##
Dear Rachel,
I didn't know you in your best year, however, you gave me the best you had. Your smile and your warm hugs expressed it all.
I've been told so many wonderful Crane/Peterson family stories, and I've met just as many welcoming family members.
Until we meet again,

Rachel was a great inspiration to me when my husband passed away, she and Einar spent so much time with him when he had open heart surgery and then on his last days with me and my family and always with a smile that would light up any ones heart, mny times later she and Einar would walk over to my house to pray and encourage me, which I appreciated so much, Have a wonderful life with the Lord and someday we will meet again.

Dearest mama,
It's been quite a journey for the Peterson family and you made it unforgettable. We had some wonderful experiences. You and dad set such good examples and taught us to love Jesus. You've certainly earned heaven and are finally at rest. Your spirit will forever live with all your children. Miss you mom.
