I knew Rachel as a young college student. She was fun,vibrant, and was a natural at her chosen program. We had great times and hours and hours of shared study. We lost touch almost 30 years ago, but I've only recently reconnected with her dad and brother. My sincerest,heartfelt sympathies to her husband and young son. She was indeed a very special lady, and I have always missed her. Take care of each other.

I remember Rachael when she was the Pharmacy Manager at Miracle Mile Kroger and I was a Tech. She was very knowledgeable and a pleasant person. She talked about her son Andrew often. Heartfelt sympathy and prayers.
