For 20 years, Vernon and Gail Creary Saunders have invited neighbors, friends, and family to celebrate the everlasting life of their one and only precious daughter Rachel Abigail Iris Saunders who fell in their pool accidentally in November 11, 1999 and went home to Zion the next day.

“The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord for He has turned our mourning into dancing.” “Oh death where is your sting . Oh grave where is your victory.” Almighty God you are worthy of all honor, all praise and all power. We glorify your Holy Name. We embrace your plan in our lives. Lord Jesus, trusting in your everlasting mercy “for by your stripes, we are healed and by your blood, we are made clean”. Praise be unto the true and living God of Abraham. Isaac, and Jacob. The God of Shedrah, Meshech, and Abendigo. The God of the 12 Tribes of Israel, the one God of us all.

Jesus blesses little children (Matthew 19:14).  Jesus said “Permit little children and forbid them not to come unto me for such is the kingdom of heaven.”

It gives Vernon and Gail great pleasure to be of service to children, parents, families, and friends, from near and far who come together once a year to celebrate Rachel’s everlasting life in Holy Mt. Zion, that is where our treasure lies. We envision her rallying around His Kingdom and we rejoice that one day we shall see our little angel Rachel once again.
