Dearest Peggy Charlie Lea Malka Mom & Dad and Jeremiah
I really don't know if this is the appropriate venue to share our thoughts and regrets for your loss. It is extremely difficult as your Brother to see you go thru this pain. Especially seeing Peggy this way. No parent should have to experience a tragedy of burying their child. Peggy & Charlie we can hardly express the deep loss we feel for Rachel. As I read through the many thoughts that are being shared in this Guest book and see the love that is expressed for Rachel I gives me strength to know that she was a very special daughter. We were blessed to have her in our lives for 31 years and we will keep her in our hearts forever.
We love you

I was a student of Mrs. White's when she taught fifth grade English. She's always been one of my favorite teachers. We both watched a relatively unknown show called Firefly and I gave her DVD copies of the first and only season. Even when she was no longer my teacher, when we passed each other in the hall she would tell me about the last episode of Firefly she had seen. That always brightened my day. I miss those days already.

Be Still
Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

My dearest Peggy and Charlie,
Rachel was a special gift you presented to this world. May God hold your hearts gently in his hands as you begin your healing journey. There are no words I can say to help you right now, but know that you will be in my prayers and thoughts every day. I love you both and my heart is breaking for your loss.
January 8, 2010
I am so very sad for everyone's loss. Rachel had more friends than she ever could have imagined. My children are going to miss her beautiful smile and her enthaustic attitude towards teaching. Her favorite saying was, please go get me a sprite.

Dear Mr. White and the Sysman family,
It never makes sense, it never seems fair, that the best and brightest stars are extinguished before their time. Our hearts break for you. Our son was having a horrible time surviving the transition from 4th to 5th grade last year to the point of breakdown. Along with some other very talented and compassionate Mill Staff, Rachel took him under her wing and gave him the self composure and esteem boosts to help him transition. I will never forget how she felt about her students-she told us once "that they're all my kids."
Pleases accept our empathies at this very difficult time....
As Above, So Below
Sincerely, Dave and Tracie Lee Strickland

My love and prayers go out to you all. Rachel always shared her love for her family, and she had the pictures adorning her classroom to show it. I am so grateful that Rachel and I had the chance to share so many special times and celebrations with each other. We will miss Rachel's incredible professional ability and her endearing friendship.

I am terribly sorry for your loss. Mrs. Rachel White was a wonderful teacher to all of her students. Everyone at mill middle is sad that she passed. She was very special to me and made a big impact on my life. She was the nicest teacher i've ever had. She would always love it when i would bring her cookies. When i would bring her the cookies she would ask me if she can adopt me. Your loss is my loss.

It is with heartfelt sadness that I write in this book.

Please know that we are thinking of you at this most difficult time in your lives and that we will be keeping you in our thoughts, in our hearts, and in our prayers. The loss of a child is so difficult.....may you come together as a family and remember the joy Rachel brought to each of you.

Rachel- Even though we haven't spoken much as of late it certainly doesn't mean I didn't still love you dearly. You were one of the first people I met and worked with in our district and we quickly became good friends. I will never forget all the fun memories we shared...and all the dumb things you made me do :-) I will love you always.

My son was a student of Mrs. White's and he adored her sense of humor and how she tried to make reading fun. It is a great loss to the entire profession of teaching along with the Williamsville community to lose a teacher like Mrs. White filled with passion, caring and love. She made an impact on my son and for that I am thankful and our entire family holds you in our hearts and prayers at this difficult time.
