Dear Rach
It's been 4 years since you gained your wings and left this world. There isn't a day go by that I don't think about you and have a void that can never be filled.
I know you are watching over us and keeping us safe.
Love You

Dear Rachel,
It is hard to believe it has been two years since you left us. Obviously, God needed you in heaven. I always try to find a positive in a negative. Since you have been gone, we have gotten to spend time with Damien and Kenny. Damien is a wonderful child. He has joined my "Craft Bunnies" and likes it. He is a true reflection of you. Last year, I made a "Rachel Tree" for your parents to have for the holidays it included ornaments you had made for me. I promise some day Damien will receive all of the ornaments you made for me. Thank you for sharing your family with us. You had a smile that could light up a room, just like your father. We miss you, but appreciate you are watching over those you love.

Damien is such a beautiful child. Last year I made a "Rachel Tree" for your parents. The tree includes ornaments that you made and gave to me. I promise someday, all of them will be given to Damien. Damien has joined my "Craft Bunnies" and he enjoys it. I am sorry you left us so soon, but obviously God needed you in heaven. Please know I will always take care of your parents. If needed I will take care of your son and husband. You had the same beautiful smile as your father, that could light up a room. Thank you for sharing your son and husband with us. I know you are watching over those you love.

To Buddy, Donna, Kenny and Michelle--Not a day has gone by since Rachel's passing that I have not thought of each of you. I am so sorry that circumstances prevented me from being there in your time of loss. Please know you have my deepest sympathy and that each of you are in my thoughts and prayers. I cannot begin to imagine the pain Rachel's loss has caused each of you. Rembering the happy moments will help get through this difficult time. My only regret is that time and distance prevented me from knowing Rachel and sharing more of her life.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Well Rach I can't believe I am posting this as I can't grasp or understand why you were taken from us. I will be sure Damien will know how awesome of a mom you were and a crazy sister((smile)). I will miss your awesome cheese cake and your technical skills! Who is now fixing my computer and putting stuff together. Remember the christmas we stayed up all night putting the playhouse together and I just sat while you read and built it I will miss our concert adventures and promise no more u turns on the Ben Franklin Bride! I always remember to check that my lights are on. Yes you are my partner in crime and no one can replace you. I love you soo much and promise to visit you since you are now closer, seriously Rach this is how you wanted to move closer? But I will always have you in my heart and many memories and stories that you just can't make up! I'll keep you in my prayers and please watch over me as you know someone has to keep me straight. I look forward to seeing you again someday but no time soon as I have lots of things to do. Be sure to watch when we take Damien on his first ride on PI. Try to keep yourself out of trouble and remember we love you and will never forget you, Peace Out Girl Scout
