I am so sorry to read that Rachael has passed away. We connected through our blogs and she has been on my mind a lot of late. Finding this obituary was not completely unexpected but is certainly heartbreaking. Prayers for all that Rachael loved and who must be missing her terribly.

Dear Daren and Family,
Our deepest sympathy on your great loss
of Rachel. She was a beautiful person and
inspiration to all who knew her.
I met her this past summer at the lake and
she was such a delight to chat with.
I know that God will give you a peace that
only He can give.
My son Matt and his wife Sue, and Liana are dear
neighbors of your family and think the world of all of you. They feel so blessed
to have been dear friends of Rachel and yours and your darling children.
Be assured that Rachel is forever happy
in Heaven and will stay in your hearts
forever.
Fondly,
Betsy Fox (Matt's Mom) and our family

My deepest condolences for family. I, we knew in the depths of our hearts that perhaps this time would come but cannot belive it actually happened. No words cam be said that would bring her back, only to comfort those she left behind. Her spirit is not gone but remain in her children,husband and all those who hurt and weep. She will certainly be God's angel he counts on be there when you least expect it. She will be missed.

Words cannot express our sorrow in the passing or Rachael, nor can they express our love and devotion to Daren, Little Daren and Kalena. We, and the rest of our neighborhood, will always be there to help and support you, as we always have. May memories guide you, Rachael's parents, siblings, and the rest of her beloved family, through the years, and may Rachael's strength of spirit support all of us in every challenge we face. Rachael FOREVER Strong!
