Elder William Dame often visited with the Pass family, and became very fond of the children. When he was released to go home, he asked if he might take little eight-year-old Rachel to Utah with him. He and his wife had no children, so he said he would love and care for Rachel as he would a daughter. The parents had a heart-rending decision to make, but they finally decided to let Rachel go, since there would be one less to take when they were ready to leave about two years later.
