Dear Dave and Tim
Jenny and I were very sorry to receive your letter about dear Rachel. She was a very special person who gave so much to so many people during her long life.
She was very much part of the early Pipe family supporting my mother, Marjorie, as she started as my nanny when I was just six months old in 1954. At the time my sister was only just two years old and my mother was finding it very hard to cope. Although of course I don’t remember her from those days, my mother always spoke so highly of Rachel and what a marvellous help she was looking after my sister and I. She often cam on holidays as well and appears on our family videos which I sent to her as a dvd a couple of years ago. If you would like a copy I can send one.
As you know Rachel always kept in touch and had long phone calls with my mother to keep her up to date with your family and I was very pleased to get her calls even after my mother died in January 2017.
With our best love to you and your families.
