Not sure what to say?

You are in our thoughts, Rachel. You have displayed the true meaning of activism in fighting for the Palestinian people. May God bless you, RIP.

Rachel,
Like Medgar Evers, Martin Luther King, and others who gave their lives standing against cruel injustice we will always remember you for your courage and compassion.

Soon righteousness will reign earth wide. Rest in peace.Ps.37:9-11

Your humanity gained you immortality. We will always remember you and your courage and sacrifice.

Rachel, you are remembered and will continue to be honored for your courageous stand for all those victims of an Israeli government and its military that continue to oppress an entire people. May your parents and family take comfort with the knowledge that your name has become synonymous with hope and struggle. Someday, justice will be done and you will always be a part of achieving that future goal of equality and freedom -- for all people. Rachel Corrie - Presente!

Thank you Rachel for your courage, compassion, and sacrifice. An example for us all.

Rachel you continue to walk by our side. We hold you in the light and at the farm called Mother Earth, there is a bee hive with your name.

For your unselfish act to the people of this world: May Allah have mercy on your soul & give you janaatul firdaus, insha-Allah.

Rachel, our thoughts are with your family and the families of thousands of Palestinian children killed and maimed who remain voiceless and invisible to most Americans.
