Not sure what to say?

My sympathies are with the family for your loss.
Rachel was my role model when I first started treaching at Union College in 1973. Over the years, we developed a collaborative professional relationship and personal friendship. Once we had both retired, we were the ladies who lunched. I had seen her a few times at Lantern Hill.
She was not only a terrific chemistry teacher but also a true friend. I will miss her.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Her leadership was invaluable as a professional mentor and Chair of the Student Academic Review Committee at Union County College for many years. It was a joy and privilege to have worked with her. Countless students benefitted from her expertise in the classroom and personal concern for their welfare.
Dr. J. Harrison Morson, former Dean for Student Services @ Union County College

Fantastic chemistry teacher. I learned so much from her . I've thought of her often over the years and attribute my love of chemistry to her. God bless her soul.
