I just miss you. Miss the hugs, the dance at heroes.....I miss the glow in your eyes. And your name came to mind, most likely because I miss you. Didn't even get to hang out much, but forever in your company would have been good enough. I hope to see you when my time comes my friend. Hope you are waiting, shot in hand. You are awesome. I won't forget what amazing can mean....I am just happy I got to meet you.

RacheL Sometimes words can seem so small compared to what we are feeling in our hearts and want to convey to you. What a beautiful and thoughtful person you are and your zest in life is something that we will always remember. You touched so many people in such a short time and in truly meaningful ways..thank you Sweetheart for touching Gwen and my lives. We will always love and remember you! Love Aunt Judy

To Rachel - My earthly sorrow.
I toss & turn at night with you on my mind.
I wake each morning & you are my first thought.
I still can't figure out what is real.
I cry & cry, but there is no relief.
Everything I touch, hear, feel or see comes with an emotion so deep, it's hard to contain.
It has been a very long, hard year. And there is no stopping.
I promise to continue to care for you. I will faithfully clean your beautiful marker. You will always have flowers.
We will talk about you & keep you in our present thoughts. We will celebrate your life continuously.
I will see you in every sunrise & sunset; each rainbow, flower & star. I will feel your breath in the wind & your love during the quiet moments.
These things were taken so lightly before, thinking we had a lifetime.
So sad. The things I should have said, I say now. So sad.
Rachel - My Heavenly joy.
I will learn to be happy & love life again for I know where you are.
I continue to trust in the promises of God, who holds you in His care.
Within a second of time you passed from earthly life & within another, you stood to take the outstretched hand of your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
You are in a place so wonderful, humans cannot comprehend.
You are more alive than you have ever been.
You now exist where there is everlasting love, joy & peace.
There is no sorrow or shame. No regrets. You live without fear.
You reside in a perfect body that will never feel pain.
You are home. And, my dear child, you will be forever young.
Praise be to God!
I love you & will always miss you terribly.
XOXO Mom

Dear Rachel it is coming up on the anniversary of your birthday in Heaven with Jesus. It is hard for us who miss you here. How you must wish we could know this joy and feel your peace and contentment of being in Gods Presence. If only you could tell your friends and family about it and give them comfort. May we all hold and hug each other as you would do to us if you were here. May all your friends and family come to know Jesus as their Savior so they can be reunited someday with you in Heaven. Give Grandma Mary a hug for me. We will not forget you.

John, Glenda and family ~
In the quiet moments when the hurt is hard to bear, may love become your shelter and may you find comfort knowing Rachel has left behind a thousand memories that will live in your hearts forever. It seems like not that long ago that we first met her at Carlos and discovered a truly beautiful and caring young girl only to find out I knew John from school. Savanna always thought of Rachel as her big sister. She still talks about how Rachel would always take her the minute we walked in to eat and show her off throughout the restaurant. It is amazing how quickly time passes and no surprise what a lovely young woman she had become. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers.
Our love always...

In memory of our beautiful first born granddaughter, Rachel. You were like a butterfly that landed near us, and for a brief moment your beauty belonged to our world... but then you flew away, we wished you could have stayed but you touched our lives with your love and our hearts with memories that shall never be forgotten. Our very being aches to hear your voice and feel the warmth of your smile. Love Grandpa and Grandma Palmer

I came into OC last night night and asked about you. I was never aware that it was you involved in the accident. We had class together at Butler CC about 10yrs ago. My friends and I always asked for you to be our server. So sad you're gone... I will always remember your smile... Rest In Peace...
You came to hold my new baby right after I had him. You were so supportive throughout my pregnancy-I will always be thankful.

Rachel I will miss that contagious laugh and those betty boop eyes! My heart is broken just knowing I will never hear that laugh again. We had some great times on 4T-I knew I could get through those 12 hours shifts at the hospital with you by my side. I will never forget you. May God rest your beautiful soul. Love you forever!

We knew you from every Tuesday night at Old Chicago, and you were the reason we kept coming back week after week. It will never be the same there for us. We will miss you dearly. The way you would take Charlotte and walk the restaurant with her, showing her off, made you a truly special person to us.
Your smile and friendship will be forever remembered and it will keep you in our hearts. Much peace & love to you...

To "our Rachel" Thank you for being the amazing person that you were to us for all the years we have known you at Old Chicago. You were the reason we came in on Saturdays and Sundays. To see your beautiful smiling face and to catch up on life. You watched our children grow, as we watched you grow into an incredible person over the years. You always put a smile on our faces. you, our dear friend, will be truly missed and will always hold a place in hearts! you will never be forgotten...Two tall bud lights and a dp!:) God speed my girl. We love you! The Scobee family

She would come by the table and talk to us and I will miss that about her. She was a very special person and I will miss seeing her. People like her leave too fast. I am very sorry.

How in the world can I describe my dear friend, and express how much I will miss her in a paragraph? I can't. I will say this.. My Rachie Baker was one of a kind. She could drive me crazy, then turn around and make me laugh uncontrollably. However, my laugh was nothing compared to hers. Rachel's laugh could fill an entire restaurant and did many times! It's one of the many things I will miss about her. She loved life, and mine was better because of knowing her. So many great memories we've shared.. my world will never be the same without Rachel in it. I hope you still get to hear Flo Rider "Right Round" in heaven friend.. I can see you dancing to it right now :) My love and prayers go out to the entire Baker family.
I'll see you again someday my friend.. I love and miss you Rach.
