3 years later and I miss you even more now Rachel. How is it even possible? This was taken your last Father’s Day on earth.  It hurts so bad🌻

Rachael you were such a beautiful and Godly woman with a million dollar smile. You will be greatly missed on earth but I believe God is going to use your life and death in such a big way for His glory. Your legacy will live on in your beautiful little Abby and in the life you lived. I look forward to hearing about lives that were changed because of you. You have reached your eternal home and are forever healed. You are loved and missed. 

Beautiful Rachael,
I will always remember your beautiful smile and your kind and gentle nature.  I will miss all of the compliments that you gave me everytime I visited your church; always taking the time to tell me  that you loved my outfits;  I am sure that now you are wearing the Beautifulest and Brightest of outfits imaginable.   We will meet again sweet girl until then I know that the Lord that you so worshiped and loved has you in His Kindom and you are in the best of care.  Love Rebeca Ramirez & Fmly 

Rachel, you are by far one of the most amazing people that I have ever met! I am so blessed to have so many amazing memories with you- being your partner in the nursery, going to nana and granddaddy’s, our PACE days, seeing Taylor Swift in concert, our weddings- so many beautiful times that I cherish with all of my heart! Thank you for being consistent in my life even after I moved across the state. You never missed a birthday, an anniversary, Mother’s Day. You always remembered me. Thank you for loving me unconditionally! You have no idea how much you changed my life and so many others! You radiated Jesus in everything that you did and it did not go unnoticed. You are incredible and I am so honored that God brought you into my life. I love you more than you can imagine. I miss you deeply.

Dearest Rachel, you were our first born Grandbaby. You were always so beautiful. We watched you grow into the Godly woman that loved your family and Jesus with all of your heart. What a joy to see you marry the love of your life, Fabio. We love him too. How happy you both were when God blessed you with little Abigail Laine. We treasure the times you stayed with us. Grandaddy taught you how to check the oil and coolant in the car. You helped me make your famous Ranch Salad. Such a beautiful picture of you bending and touching the pink Azaela pedals. I'm sure the flowers in heaven are much more beautiful than anything we can imagine. We are so blessed to have you in our family. It will be such a wonderful day to be with you and all of the family together again. Most of all, you are now with the one that gave us His all, the Saviour of the world. We love and miss you our precious Granddaughter, Rachel.       Nana & Granddaddy

To Fabio and the Jennings family,

Being at Fabio and Rachel's wedding was a joy to me.  To see their deep and true love for each other was beautiful, because it was a gift from God.

What a wonderful woman Rachel was, and still is.  Thankfully,  Rachel and all of us will celebrate another heavenly wedding soon.  A wedding where we will never stop rejoicing and will never say good bye again.

Much love and prayers for your comfort and peace during these difficult days.

Rachel, your smile has always been what I always remember about you as a child. Even though I had not seen you for years after I moved to North Carolina,  I’ve kept up on Facebook. You will be missed so much by all that loved you. Abby will always know you through your parents and your husband. Looking forward to seeing you again in heaven. Much love,
Lydia Belardo

P. S. Please say hi to Zeke for me. 

It’s hard to say in so few words what Rachel meant to me.  Of course, she was my friend, but I loved her like a sister.  I loved Rachel’s compassion for others and her passion for the ministry.  She dreamed of speaking in front of hundreds of people, and without knowing it, the life she lived is fulfilling the dream she had in her heart- it is speaking to others even now of the goodness of God!  
Some of my favorite memories are only for family and close friends, but let’s just say they include gnocchi soup and lots of laughs.  
I love you, Rachel.  I always will.

Rachel was the most kind and precious soul anyone ever knew. As many have said, her smile lit up any room she walked into. I still remember the first time I met you in our Missionettes class when you had just moved to Miami. Since that day I knew you were a special soul. I still remember having conversations about how much you liked Fabio, and how one day you knew he would be your husband. I loved watching you take care of your siblings in such a motherly way, I just knew you would be an amazing mom. Although my heart aches knowing you’re no longer physically with us, I’m grateful that you’re no longer suffering and in pain. I’m certain your legacy and the lives you have already touched will live on forever. Until we meet again, I ask that you watch over us and intercede to our Heavenly Father on our behalf. ❤️

Love you always,
Yaz & Mom Yaz 

Hi Rachel 
I was looking through all the pictures and that one, felt like it just happened yesterday. It was in the month of December we went to the movies to see Breaking Dawn part 2. I remember asking Rachel if she seen all of the twilight movies because I didn't want her to be lost.  Rachel said yes i have. But I think she only agreed to watch this movie because I really wanted to see it. Sure enough I was wowed about the movie and Rachel was like im so lost. 😅 That's Rachel so sweet, nice and funny.  You will be missed so much.  ❤

Last time I visited Florida 3 months ago, I was in Kohls.  This girl was behind me peering over my shoulder pretending to read my messages while I was reading text messages on my phone.  I thought who is this crazy person in my space! Looked up you were laughing cause you were trying to get my attention while me being obviously to my surroundings.  the look on my face was what in the world is this person doing while you were laughing. That's you full of wit and so spontaneous.  we talked that day about you fabio and Abby coming in the fall to stay with me my treat...you said I'm gonna take u up on that. You were so excited. I found out yesterday from your  bf Anna Napoles that you had talked to her about your visit with me in the fall. You will never know how much that meant to me that you shared that with your bf. You Rachel are my example to strive to be more like you. You will never know how deep a scar was left in my heart. I love you so much. Fly high angel. 

From Sunday school nursery, to cooking while babysitting you, Nicole, & Ryan, and every youth related event at Central Bible, there was never a moment you weren't a joy to be around. You had the brightest smile, most radiant and lovely personality, and it was so evident how much you loved the Lord and your family. Thank you for being the granddaughter to my grandparents when I couldn't be and for always loving others the way Christ loves you. I will miss you...

My favorite memory of Rachel was of a playful conversation we had when her and Fabio first started courting. In typical girl-like fashion, she, her mother, and I had pulled up some photos and were gabbing about how cute they looked together and how fun it'd be if they ended up getting married. Sure enough, after her quick stint as a redhead, 😉 this came to pass, and I was so happy that it did. 
We lost touch after the Jennings family transferred to the First Assembly in Florida City, but I've never forgotten the love & compassion extended to me by the entire Jennings family while I was going through my own period of grief - whether it was in the form of breakfast sandwiches and car rides to PACE, the reassuring smiles at youth group, or the warm hugs that they gave so well.
It is abundantly clear that Rachel and her story has touched the lives and hearts of everyone who had the fortune of meeting and knowing her. My prayers are with her family & loved ones during this extremely difficult time.

Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Psalm 147:3
He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

You were a ray of sunshine everywhere you went. You had the biggest smile I have ever seen. My memory of you was seeing you working so hard to become an Honor Friend. You were the epitome of what being an Honor Friend was and is. Your family says you wanted to speak to the thousands and share your testimony.  Well let me tell you that you did. So many that you didn’t know and they didn’t know you and because of your journey and their prayers know of you now. You touched so many hearts. You may no longer be here but your legacy will forever be alive and live  in your sweet and precious little girl Abbie. You just have to look at her and  we see you. May you rest forever  in the  Lord’s  Eternal Light . Until we meet again fly high with the angels sweet Rachel. 🌻❤️🌈

Rachel, my niece and my friend. Your bright personality lit up every room and situation. Your beauty shined from the inside out. I loved being with you, laughing with you and  just hanging out with you. I will never stop talking about how wonderful and special you are and I will think of you daily, especially when I wear anything with bling or see a sunflower. Your memory will live on through our memories and through your beautiful sweet girl Abigail. Our hearts and lives are changed forever. Love you so much, 💜 Aunt Chessie

I met Rachel through her Colorstreet page. Just like everyone else says, she was friendly and made you feel like a friend. I never felt she was faking it l, in order to sell. She seemed genuine. I never personally met her, but we talked about our kids, work, and families all the time. We had talked about meeting and even had an opportunity around Memorial Day but I had a family function outside of town and said, well maybe next time. Even while she was in the hospital she reached out to talk about her business and it turned into praying for her recovery. I’ve mentioned it to her how I loved her dedication to her business and from one mom running a small business to another … I know it wasn’t easy but I haven’t met anyone as dedicated as she was. She will be missed but I’ve learned from her to put joy and pride into my work and not feel ashamed of sharing.  

“Rachel was always smiling” is what I have read over and over because it’s so true. She would walk into a room and light up the room. She was so kind and thoughtful. She did not know a stranger. When I was a youth leader she babysat Faith and Nani fed them and never complained so that I could help serve along her parents. She would tell me I was strong to do all I did on my own. I remember going into her room and telling her to clean it up and helping her get it “organizedish”. I remember talking about fashion, hair, and makeup. I remember talking about Jesus. I am going to miss your sweet smile, your humor in your stories on Facebook, you occasional DMs about hair, kids and life. Please don’t be mad at  me for  posting this picture,  but it’s how I remember you  a big giant smile ❤️🌈 See you soon Rachel… I know you’re sitting on the lap of Jesus soaking him all up❤️🌈

Rachel you have touched hundreds and now thousands all over the country. Your smile, your ambition, your love for others and your fight  will forever be in my heart. Thank you for showing the world that no matter what obstacles you may face you can still succeed at life. Thank you for making me feel welcome when I first started going to church. Thank you for watching Jurnee for me in the nursery. Thank you for loving Jesus like you did. Thank you for shining a light to others even if it was just through your color street sales. I will forever cherish the ones that I purchased from you and never open them. Thank you for being a shining light on my Christian path. I love you and will remember you always. 

Love You Always
Destiny

I remember whenever we would visit the Jennings, she would greet us with a smile and always hospitable.  She would be sure to ask if we wanted anything to drink and always made us feel welcome. I could also remember how sweet she was to our kids.  She was always laughing and making jokes. She was pretty funny 😄 too.   Rachel has left a beautiful imprint in our hearts ♥️. Prayers for comfort in knowing we will see her again soon! 🙏🙌🤗

Rachel, You will be greatly missed! I remember grabbing sushi with you and Nicole and passing by your parents house just to say hey while I was in nursing school by your house. I remember your bridal shower, bachelorette party(at your moms nothing crazy people lol) , and wedding day! I always admired your determination and strength to achieve anything you put your mind to like graduating with your AA. I wanted God to heal you so bad and he did just now how many of us imagined. Our last convo was July 11th when you told me to try color street! I wish I tried them sooner and have a set of 4 waiting to be used. We love and miss you girl and know you are in heaven healed and whole. <3

My Rainbow….I have no idea how to do this life without you. I’m sorry I never took you to the Cauley Square Tea Room. I promised I would. I will take Abbie. I promise to take care of her. Rachel, you changed my life forever and I am so very honored God CHOSE to give YOU to me.

Every memory I have of Rachel is with a big smile on her face!I had the privilege of doing her hair on her special day for her wedding! I also have a fond memory of taking her fishing one day😍 Our prayers for the family Love Maggie Seiter
