I knew Theola and Rachel when I was younger, living in Southside, Alabama. Rachel and I were friends. Theola was one of the kindest, most gentle woman I have ever met. I have been wanting to get in touch with Rachel for a long time. I’m sorry for your loss Rachel but know she’s with the Lord. I hope you are doing well.

I met Theola when she attended First Presbyterian in Prairie Grove. Theola had a great big personality and her faith and love of God was even larger. She will be greatly missed.
