There are no words that can ease the pain you are feeling. May you find comfort in the experiences you shared with Rachel and the total love you gave her while she was here. Hope comes through the Atonement of Jesus Christ and knowing that she will be perfect.No more worry and sorrows. She was such a happy and loving child and will now be what she was meant to be.

My prayers are with you. I know some days will be easy to get thru, while other will be very hard. Rachel always had a smile for everyone. When she attended Cleburne High School she met my son, Mike. Their birthdays were only 5 days apart, hers May 8th, Mike was May 13th. Remember she is in God's care now. Debbie Moore

I was sad to hear the news. Rachel and I had a class together at Mina Elementary. Though our paths parted ways, she certainly left an impression on me. She had one of the purest, most joyful smiles I have ever seen. It was infectious.

Keeping you all in my prayers and remembering Rachel fondly. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful tribute with all of us.

Spent pretty much all elementary school with her we even had speech class together even when the kids weren't the nicest to us she kept head up & big smile on her face admired her for that. I remember the parent lunches & her dad would flip his denture teeth to make it look like he had metal fangs for the kids. she use to talk about all the time & kids were amazed by it when they finally saw it. I am so so very sorry for your loss, you loss a very special person my condolences go out to you

Until I met Rachel as a little girl, I had never heard anyone say my name as it was supposed to be said. No one has ever made it sound more sweet than she did. Cindy, I can only imagine what this is like for you. For a child to precede a parent in death is not the natural order of things. It is not fair. It's terrible and the worst thing that can happen to a parent. I hope you can begin to heal soon. If not today, then tomorrow. If not tomorrow then soon.
My words look feeble to me and I fear they are of little comfort. Perhaps a quote that has brought me solace will serve you as well.
"Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened."

Children are not supposed to go first. It's harder to accept, but for those who haven't experienced it, don't hesitate to share memories with family members. They may cry but it's part of the healing process. Judie

Our thoughts and prayers are with Cindy and family. Memories of Rachael are thankfully recent. At her sisters wedding she looked beautiful and poised. We enjoyed conversing with her and marveled at her memory of us since we last saw her as a little girl. We will always remember Rachael at this special event. Love, Aunt Sandy and Uncle Dale

Dear Cindy & Family, The Lord brought you & Frank to mind several times this past week, & now I know why. Each time I lifted you up in Prayer.

As much as Rachel loved & appreciated life here on Earth, how delighted she must be with the Beauty & Wonders of Heaven! How lovely that her parting gift was the donation of her organs to Bless the lives of others. May your many sweet memories of times shared together bring you & yours much Comfort & Peace.

In His Love, Ann Hinkelman (Motorola)

We remember Rachel as a beautiful child full of mischief and energy. The big adventure into the woods. Breakfast with Frank for flapjacks. The obituary was an opportunity to see her adulthood. We are deeply sorry for your loss.
Sincerely,
Tom and Sheri Hoffman

My thoughts and prayers are with you! I remember coming to stay at your house in Austin when I was about 13 years old. Rachel was only 8. I still remember her running around the house with that great whole face smile of hers. Her smile will always be etched in my memory.
