So very sorry for your loss. Rachel and I were friends at Marymount in Paris and stayed in touch over the years. I remember us laughing together quite often. I will miss her dearly. Sending heartfelt sympathy.

I was very saddened to hear about Rachel's passing this morning. I used to work with Rachel until 2006 when I moved out of state.

Rachel and I used to arrive at work around 6am, so we would chat before others showed up. Rachel was quirky and she would frequently make me giggle at that early hour when we spoke. She would ask me why I was laughing, but it was because I found her quirkiness endearing.

Rachel sent me this picture at work around 2005. I believe that it was for a blog post for her upcoming Iron Butt Challenge, riding her Ducati through all 48 CONUS states in 10 days. I enhanced it a bit in Photoshop to make it "pop".

Rachel was very well liked at work and we all appreciated her dedication to the job. My sincere condolences to her family.
