Rachel Sutherland

I remember talking to Rachel one Sunday before church . We were looking at the garden with the lovely flowers. We both were very still. Rachel said,"You can feel God here". I will always remember that day , and know that a part of Rachel is there,always.

Dearest Elly,
We go back a long way, you and me. We started school together aged 5, went right through high school together, even worked together in the same office for the same Bank! We got married around the same time and when you went to America, Barry and I visited you for our first anniversary in Atlanta. It seems like yesterday that you wrote to tell me you were expecting Rachel and I wrote back to say that I was expecting too. Alex was 18 last week. We met Rachel a few times...

Alan, Elly, & James,
I just recently heard the sad news about Rachel and I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I did not know her but you Alan are one of my very best friends and I hate this so much for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God bless you all.

I am so sorry for your loss. I did not personally know Rachel, but I was a senior when she was a sophomore at GRC. I know that she made a difference in the school and the whole community and on all of the numerous lives she touched. My prayers are with you and my hope is that we all can have even half the impact that she had in her short life. Prov. 12:28

So sorry for your loss. She is in a better place watching everyone now. She will always be with you. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

We send our love and deepest sympathy.

Dear Sutherland Family,
Rachel was one of the most looked upon young ladies of our community. We will never forget all of the heart felt contributions she made. I know if I can strive to be more like her than maybe one day we'll meet again in heaven.
With much love.

Dear Alan and Family,
I was so saddened to hear about the loss of your precious daughter. Although I didn't know her, I can tell that she was definitely one-of-a-kind in today's crazy world. I know how proud you are of her. My prayers go out to all of you that you find strength to get you through each day.

With love, Gayle Dunham Bolton (Alan's friend from 25 years ago in Atlanta--church camp for handicapped children)

Dear Family and Friends of Rachel,
I did not know Rachel but i was traveling to Florida when we came up on the accident. Although i didnt know her, she has impacted my life very much. I am praying for the others that were in the car. Their lives were torn apart that saturday, i wanted to cry with them that day and i cant stop thinking about how tragic this must be to her friends and family. God Bless all of the people who knew her. Someday we will see her again.
