Remembering Rachel
Covina, CA
My cousin Rachel was very proud of this majestic Monterey Pine that graces her front yard. The tree is over one hundred years old, and if it could tell what it has seen, the stories would be endless. Since Rachel’s passing in April, the stately endurance of this grand tree reminds me of her bigger than life presence in our family and friends’ lives. We miss her silly chatter, her enthusiasm for football, her love of history, her faith in God and her countless acts of kindness.
