Raquel D. Boehmer

I am also startled and saddened to come across Ricky's obit. It is hard to believe that such a lively and lovely person is gone.
I so loved our many conversations in her kitchen on Monhegan. You couldnt have a conversation with her while walking on Monhegan's main street as so many people wanted to stop her and talk. My condolences and love to Peter, Kris, Louis and Tim.

Her love of music and her beautiful ability on her instruments will always be remembered by me. I never knew her family but my prayers go out to them. God Bless them all.

Words can never express the way we feel about Raquel's departure. We will miss her elegance, kidness, amazing sense of caring and most of all her love for her family near and far. Let's take confort in knowing that she is resting and watching over all of us.
Our love to Peter, Kris, Tim and Louisa.

Her joy for life was infectious and her love of her dear Peter and her family was expressed daily. Raquel had a generous heart and accepted without judgement everyone she met because she could see the good in all. She coped with years of health challenges with courage and faith. She will be greatly missed.

Words cannot express the sadness of Ricki's death. She was such a special friend and passed her artistic and social skills to her children and grandchildren. Fond memories which I hope will comfort you all....
