Mark and Boys,

Sorry to hear of your loss. I remember Rachel's smile and laughter. I remember Kristi and John playing together in the leaves on Pemberton Lane. She was a beautiful person and will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathy go out to your family.

Dear Bob, Kathy and family,
Words can not express how sorry we are for your loss. Our hearts go out to all of you. We pray you receive the strength and courage you need to get through this and that you will find peace and comfort in your memories and each other.

I knew Rachel from her days at Cabletron and was shocked and saddened by this news. She was one of the nicest and happiest people I've ever met, and always a pleasure to work with.  I've forgotten many of the people that passed through Cabletron over the years, but not her.  My condolences to the family for your great loss.

Dear Tanguay and Riihimaki Family,

I am very sorry to hear of Rachel's passing, she never got angry at me in daycare and John was one of my best friends growing up... It has been a long time since i have seen either of them. Hoping John does ok.

It was such a shock to hear of Rachel's passing.  I was a coworker and friend of Rachel's at SHA, for years. We shared many experiences from Ma,Ca,NH,and Ga. She was one of the most genuine and caring people,that I have ever known. Her love and devotion for her boys was just awesome. She will always be remembered with love by all who knew her. My deepest condolences.

Dear Tanguay and Riihimaki Family,

There are no adequate words to express my deepest sympathy during this difficult time.  My heart goes out to all of you.  If there is anything I can do - you only have to ask.

Though I hadn't seen Rachel for many years,  I will always remember her kind manner, easy laugh and her bright smile. My prayer is that God will grant her family and friends peace and comfort in the days ahead.

The Oxford Cleaners family are saddened by the lose of a wonderful person who brought us joy with her presence and personality. We will miss her laughter and her wonderful smile. Our condolences to the family and all those who were blessed to be a part of Rachel’s life.

My heart is breaking for you and your family. Please know you all are in my thoughts and prayers. May you find peace and comfort in God and in the arms of your friends and family.

George and I extend our deepest sympathy for Rachel's Very Special Family.  We miss her so terribly and know that only time & God's love will help calm the troubled hearts of ALL that knew her.

Words cannot express how sorry we are for your families loss and for the pain you are all feeling. Our prayers are with you all.  "If God brings you to it, he will bring you through it."

Those we love remain with us
For love itself lives on,
And cherished memories never fade

Those we love can never be
More than a thought apart,
For as long as there is a memory,
They'll live on in the heart
