Thinking of your family and always remember your sweet daughter!

We think of your family every day, but especially on the day she went to heaven.

I still think of your beautiful daughter and pray for you and your family!

I read about your story and am very sorry to hear about your loss. She seemed to be an exceptional young woman, who worked hard through her life to be cut some short. I am glad she was able to touch a lot of lives while she was here. I will keep you in my prayers, pray God continues to give strength and comfort to everyone she knew, loved, and touched in a special way. God Bless.

Thinking of your family during this difficult anniversary.

May God wrap his arms around your family! Still think of the tragic loss of your sweet daughter but know she is with the Lord!

Tom, Cheryl, and Katie,
I can't stop thinking of ya'll and won't stop praying for ya'll. I just watched some of the Sandy Hook parents speaking on their grief on tv. A couple of things stood out and made me think of ya'll. First, friends will think speaking of Rachel will only make you more sad, so they will avoid doing so. These parents said that is the opposite of true. They need to speak often of their child to keep that memory alive. Second, one mom said her pastor said this...

Praying for your family everyday - your Rachel was beautiful inside and out! You must have been the best parents to have raised such an amazing, sweet person! By looking at her picture, I can tell how much she loved life and was a very happy person.
I will continue to pray for your family. Rachel is with the Lord now and you will see her again.

Time may have passed but your precious daughter's memory and impact she has made will never pass. My only, my daughter Lindsay was killed 8 years ago, March 1 in College Station. A dear friend of mine form the Lakeway area sent me a text about Rachel. I am reaching out to you as a mom that has walked this journey for 8 years to give you hope and to tell you about a wonderful organization called the Christi Center. Please look them up. It's free, you will never pay for their service. Praying...
