I'M heartbroken and selfish that God has taken you to be with our grandparents. Tell them we all miss them and will unite again one day. You will be missed but have three beautiful sons that will walk in your footsteps. I will never forget how beautiful and fun you lived your life while growing up. II',m sad I didnt have a chance to tell you how much we love you but I won't the next time I see you until then rest in peace. Wes

Rachel you will be missed by family and friends and though you are gone from this life it is good to know that God spared you anymore undue suffering. I will never forget your reaction and being there to help us remember Bethany when she passed, your hugs and tearful smile said more than words ever could that day. it is ironic that you passed 1 year to the day of Bethany's memorial service and now we are attending yours. Life is so short and the people we touch as we move through are so many more than we ever realize. Your children will be in our thoughts and prayers, and may God allow you to watch over them, may he give them peace, strength and resolve to make it through the years to come. I know God will decide someday their job is completed here and reunite you all, until then may his works shine through them. May God greet you with open arms, I am sure Bethany has already and the two of you are already busy doing something up there. Please give her one of those loving hugs you gave me a year ago and let her know we love and miss her. I will do my best to do the same for your children when I see them. Godspeed - John Barnhart
