Sad to hear you passed. We always sat next to each other in home room in high school because of our last names. Our parents knew each other from the base and our little sisters were both freshman when we were seniors. I remember how cool and sure of yourself even in HS. My condolences to your family.

May the lovely memories you shared with Rachel bring you comfort.

To the family of Rachel Baynard. I worked with Rachel in the Medical Intensive Care Unit at Christiana Newark Division. Rachel was a wonderful person to work with, I can still hear her funny laugh, it was very different from laughter you generally hear, kind of load squeaky and she always had a wonderful smile. Just thinking about her makes me sad, because in this life i will never see her again, my heart goes out to you all her family, may Rachel forever rest in peace now. Hopefully we all will one day be in her present's again. Sorry for your loss Rachel will be miss.Tina Davis Smyrna De.
