Rachel Trumpy

Dear Trumpys,
I'm sitting here in disbelief still feeling absolutely heart-broken and helpless. Rachel was an amazing girl and life will never be the same without her. Although she was more like a little sister to me than anything, I truly look up to her and am inspired by her example of love and simplicity. Please know that you are all in my family's prayers and thoughts and we want to do anything we can to support you.
Love,
Mary Newton

I worked with Rachel in Victoria. Rachel will be greatly missed at work. It was a pleasure to meet such wonderful person and my deepest sorrows are with your family in your loss.

Dear Trumpy family,
I am deeply saddened to learn of Rachel's passing. I have had the opportunity to work with and observe a number of the children as they passed through Holy Cross High School. Each had clear and definite character traits that made them both interesting and challenging at times. But they all shared a common faith, which was evident. May God be watching over you all at this most difficult time. Rachel's journey was cut short, too short, but she will be waiting in heaven to greet you all with her wonderful smile and her beautiful music. May your faith and love for each other keep you strong.

I worked with Rachel only a few times but she was always happy and a pleasure to work with. We will all miss her a great deal.

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Rachel was a beautiful woman of God and will be greatly missed by all those who were blessed to have had her in their life. I remember the beautiful example that she was to all the girls in the Catholic Girls Clubs. Her purity and evident faith spoke of the grace of being a women truly in love with Christ.

We cannot be there.

I had the absolute pleasure to share some time at work with Rachel in Victoria. Rachel was always so polite. Rachel was certainly one the most kind, hard working, helpful, enthusiastic, and cheerful people I have ever met. Even though I only knew Rachel for a short while, my life is better for this time.
Rachel will be deeply missed, and long remembered. My sincerest sympathies to the Trumpy family.

Tho we met Rachel only a few times, those moments were precious, special and will be long cherished. Our hearts and prayers are with all the Trumpy Family in this time of sorrow and always.

It is with our deepest regrets that we write this sad note. Rachel's loss is deeply felt by all of us and especially the Holy Cross School Community.
I have had the pleasure of working with many of the Trumpy children and have always admired the giftedness of your family. Rachel was no exception. Christ has taken her home but has left the gift of her short life for all of us to treasure. We pray for Rachel and all of your family at this difficult time.
God bless

My Dear Family: I stand in witness and in awe of each of you. Your profound grief and love is apparent in each averted and kept glance.

We got to know Rachel from her summers working at the corner store.
She had such a smile and always a twinkle in her eye.
She would greet you and make you think you are the only person in the store.
I'll miss her smile and her way of telling a funny story and most of all I think I'll miss that little twinkle of michief that she always had.
Rachel was a very special person indeed and just such a warm caring individual.

Rachel was a great person. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Trumpy family,
Your daughter's life lived, is a reflection on your family and strong family values. She was beautiful, kind, and an inspiration, especially to her "Challenge girls". Our loss, heaven's gain.
The Waslen family

Dennis and Sheila, our thoughts and prayers have been only for you since Rod called us about Rachel. Our deepest condolences. Chris and Andrea.

Our deepest condolences. You are in our prayers.

I do not know how to express my thoughts today. It is with a heavy Heart and deepest thoughts that I send this to you. You are all in my Prayers and when you need an open ear know that I will be there waiting for your call.

Dear Dennis and Sheila -

As Rachel's first music teacher, I remember how attentive, responsive and respectful she was. Her lessons were always prepared, and we were able to journey in music together. Seldom does a teacher experience a "kindred spirit" in one so young.

My memories of Rachel are a blessing to me as a teacher, and I thank you for the privilege of being able to spend time with her when she was very young.

So very, very sorry for your loss. Words cannot express the sympathy I am sending to you, the family of Rachel Trumpy.
My daughter went from K - 12 with her. She was a wonderful and kind person...always.

Am I not here, your Mother? Are you not under my shadow and protection? Am I not the fountain of your life? Are you not in the folds of my mantle and in the embrace of my arms? Is there anything else you need?
St. Louis de Montfort

The Blessed Mother will see you through your loss, but Heaven's gain.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathy are with Rachel’s family. We knew Rachel as a lovely, caring, responsible young girl. She is fondly remembered by Anwyn as her first babysitter, who taught her how to make paper snowflakes, gently cared for her, and willingly played Barbie dolls.

We want you to know that we are praying for you and your family. May God's love give you strength and comfort. Rachel was a beautiful person, we all have great memories of her.
In Christ,

Dear beautiful Trumpy family,
I am holding you in my heart and prayers and thankful for the remarkable love that you consistently gave to exquisite Rachel.
Love, Lottie Devontree

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
