Rachel,
It was customers like you & Blaine that made waiting on tables a joy. When I couldn't get any more stressed on a busy night @ Rebecca's, a little wink & smile from you & a quick, silly joke from Blaine made everything so much easier. My thoughts are with you Rachel, You're a strong lady & Blaine loved you with all of his heart. R.I.P. Blaine...
