Rachel was a funny, realistic, loyal, stubborn, and will always have a place in my heart!
I hold many memories of the times shared in school yards (I'm not sure I would have made it through the boys' kindergarten year without her!) and hockey rinks. She took great pride in her family and loved caring for you. I speak for Tom and Justin when I say we are truly sorry for your loss. xo

Brian, Melissa, Brian, Jeremy and to the rest of your family.
I am so truly sorry to hear of Rachel's passing.
Even though I had met her a few times, I felt like I knew her through watching Ceil's smile, talking about all the fun and happy times they shared.
My deepest sympathy.
