Rachelle Kristina Clark

You´re still on everyone´s mind. You have made an impact on my life that will never be forgotten and I thank you for that. I´ll never forget Jacksonville ale house 24 years ago the day we met. I miss you.

Rachelle,
It has been 22 years today and you are forever21. No matter how long you´ve been gone, your life here made such an impact on so many. You live on in our memories and our hearts and we will always love you, no matter how long it takes to be together again. Continue to shine bright and watch over us. You live on through those who knew and loved you. Way up high in the sky and Bigger, my Sugarbear.

Merry Christmas darlin. You are missed dearly. Love ya

Dear Rachelle,

I love you so much. You taught me more than I can really comprehend, much less put into words. You have such a kind spirit that touched so many people. After all these years Rachelle, you inspire me to be kind, loving and accepting (also feels like I fail most days, but important thing is to keep trying?? hopefully...lol). We became close friends after a dumb high school clique kicked me out. That same day you embraced me and really brought me in. There is no way I could ever forget that act of kindness, how you did not hesitate and did it so naturally. You brought so many people in that needed a loving soul to embrace them. Now in my 40s I realize how you had the most important things in life figured out at such a young age. How incredible!

I hope everyone that knew and loves Rachelle, especially her family, is doing good.

Much love

Kate (Katie)

18 years. This day never gets any easier. Heard “Whats Love Got to Do With It” by Tina Turner at the pool this morning and couldn’t help but laugh as I remembered you singing it when you were 3 or 4 years old. Wish I had a video of that, but I can see you so clearly in my mind’s eye! My memories of you are all good. You never failed to make me smile and you filled my heart with love. I have so greatly missed you in my life. I love you Sugar Bear - way up high in the sky ... and Bigger.

I miss you, Id love to hear your voice. You were way to young to leave. I would give anything to know that you were living your dreams. I love you to this present day! You were and are amazing! Thank you for being you..:

Good morning darlin. It was a rough night for me. Dreams wake me up every time. Not a fan of how the cards unfold. Been working nonstop. Seems like days are getting longer and the sun is going down sooner. I reckon that's uniform of how it is when you own your own business. Don't get me wrong I don't curse the ground where my seeds are soiled. I grateful for the business. I took a part time/ As needed job for the government. Not sure if that will be to much on my plate. But it's been some time since I retired from it and I really wanted to be involved in my community. We will see how that unravels. My kids are growing up to fast for my liking. My daughter is losing her baby teeth. every time she smiles I laugh with the missing front one,about to be two. My son is a piece of his own work. For being 2 he is so smart. He knows how to use his iPad. Counts, spells his name, know his body parts, and loves Kung fu panda. Both are a hot mess. But they are my babies and I love to pieces. My wife keeps things in line for all of us.lord knows we need it. Sorry about the rambling. Just wanted to talk. I miss you a lot and wanted you to know that I love you still just as much as day one.

Christmas is knocking on the door darlin. What a year. Business is good, my kids are driving me crazy, and my dog keeps eating things she shouldn't and racking up crazy vet bills. Yet I'm still here thinking about you. Don't know what it is but I know who you are and made me love you. I can't ever tell you enough how much I miss you and I'd give anything for a few more minutes of your time. It's been a long road, yet still signs all over. I'm becoming an old man ....lol. I still see your smile in my dreams. One more beer?? One more game of pool??? God must have needed something special to get you. Lucky man..... I wish I was 1/2 that lucky. Love ya. Miss ya. I'll be by Christmas Eve with flowers.

Hey darlin!! Just stoping in to say I'll be heading up there soon and I'll stop by with some flowers and chat for a little while. There's so much I have to tell you. Been swamped with work and these kids of mine are a handful. Lol. But they make this life I leed worth living. I sure you know this but I still have to say there ain't no words that could ever say how much you are missed and loved. Love ya girl. See ya soon

It's been 16 long years, and I miss you as much as ever. I often think of all the time we spent together when you were younger, and how much fun everything was with you; Disney World, flying kites over the river in Elizabeth City, watching the fireworks on 4th of July in Greenville, even the time we got lost in Virginia when I had to go to the dentist! :-) You were my baby, and I loved you so. Still do and always will. I still keep in touch with your mom and Victoria and visit them every time I get a chance to go to Florida. And of course I visit you at Jacksonville Memory Gardens. I was delighted to see that someone else had given you flowers recently. For so long I thought I was the only one and that made me so sad. If I was closer, I'd visit you all the time. I love and miss you so much. I wish you were here, but I am sure you are much happier where you are! XoXo Aunt Jane

I stopped by today cause i was in town. Hope you like the flowers darlin. It's so hard to keep it together when I am there. It is equally as hard to leave. I miss you girl and as always I love you.

It's been 14 years and I still think about you and miss you daily. So much has changed darlin. I know you already know. It just nice to be able to come on here and send ya a message. One day when the good lord calls me home I know we will sit down and catch up and talk about old times. Love ya girl.

Hey baby girl. Just wanted to tell you I miss you. This year has been one hell of a ride. Wish you were here so I had some one to talk to. I love you darlin.

Baby girl happy new year. Just know that if you were here it would be much better. This beer is for you. Oorahhhh. Love you.

Baby girl, I was just speaking about you last night to my brother. My wife has heard all the stories over and over again but she still listens and smiles. She knows how much you ment to me. You know money can buy anything but time. And that's why time is so important and meaningful. Thank you for the time you have me. You have be such an inspiration in my life. I'm gonna come up and visit you soon when I go to mamas house. Can't believe how fast this year has passed. My daughter is stoked about Christmas. It's the first year she's all about it. It's that age I guess. Lol. Just wanted to stop in and wish you a Merry Christmas. I still love you to pieces and miss you so much. Brian

Rae Rae, you always hated me calling you that, but I know that secretly you loved it - except not lol. There are no words to describe the emptiness I feel when I want to talk to you. We weren't as close as we had been,but we were as close as we could be given everything. I love you so much and you still show up in my dreams; as if to say that you're still looking out for me. Peace and love babe. Peace, Love and Green Day. I love you.

Hey baby girl, tomorrow is not gonna be a good day for me so I'm writing this today. God I miss you so damn much. I wanna see your smile, hold your hand, play you in a game of pool. I re read all of my old messages on here from 02 to today. I broke down and cried like a baby. A lot has changed baby. I have a beautiful little girl, bought a house in Sanibel island. There's so much more but I'll tell you all about it when I see you again. My grandfather passed away today and I told him to come see you in heaven. Tell you how much I love you and miss you. Grandma has been up there with you for a year now. I'm sure you have met her to. I'm sure she has told you a lot and how much you mean to me. I feel like my heart just sunk into my stomach writing this. I don't have your picture on my dash anymore due to it starting to fade. It's in a frame in my house. I'm so jealous sometimes knowing your up in heaven happy and well and I can't be there with you right now. One day baby. I hope when it's my time you will be that angle waitress to come take my order and tell me all about that special place hold my hand and take me there. I love so damn much. I so need a hug right now from you. Xoxoxoxoxoxoxo

Hey Rae! I hope Grandma has found you and Brandon by now and has loved you both up to pieces!! Please tell her I miss her; I still can't believe she is gone, but knowing she is with you and Jesus makes me smile. We will all be together again someday! Love you so much. <3 Aunt Jane

Hello Rachelle,
It's 10:18pm and I am at my mom's house at the lake and I was just thinking of you. I wanted to let you know I think of you and I have a picture of you and me in my room. You know the one with me wearing your jeans, black shirt and your black shoes and you have a pair of jeans and of course something blue on. You have that blue hat on. You wore hats great. That was the trip that we took when we meet your dad and his wife in Destin, FL. And of course we got a flat tire and we had the police officer sit behind us in his car while we sat and took pictures. Only if we had the key to the tire thingy. Do you remember what we were listing to back then? Come on remember that group? You were such a great singer. Man that was a long time. The last time I saw you is when it was your last birthday here on earth. I came down with Steven which I am no longer with but we came down to see you and Wade.
I came to your funeral. I flew down and stayed with Wade. I still talk with him time to time. I still hear the Celin Deon song that was played. It was a perfect song.
I have to tell the people that you were such a great friend. You opened your house to me when I needed it so much. I will never forget you. I know you are in heaven. I remember our talks.
Well let me tell you what is going on right now in my life. I know you know all but for the others. I found the love of my life and got married August 26, 2006. I had my first son Nicholas Edward Powell on March 31, 2008. Nicholas is great he is now 9 months old. My husband is name Brian Powell and we live in Windsor, VA.
Rachelle because of you I am the person that I am. I am so lucky to say you were my friend and I am lucky to say that I know my Lord and Savior and I will see you in Heaven.
So who ever is reading this. Please know I loved and still love Rachelle. She loved everyone so much and please get your life together so you can you see that beautiful woman again.

I hate living my life with out you in it. Its not how I want it and now never can be anything like how I wanted. I want things but on some level dont care if I ever get them. I just do things so I dont become a disappointment to our family. Sad huh...I have no drive. I feel like things would be so much better and Id be a completly different person. Maybe not completly. I think Id like me more though if I had you. I always say the same things. nothing ever changes. your not here and I am. It sucks. I need you. I miss you. I love you.

Sometimes i think people forget. thats ok though. i wont. this doesnt really mean anything anyway right? i mean thats what most people probly feel like. this doesnt change anything, its just "something for the living". it does mean a little to me. i always come here and tell you how i need you and all that. well guess what. nothing has changed. im still stuck here. i hate it and dont want to be here and nothing is right. nothing is right. i hurt all the time. all the time, every min of the day and all the days of the year. alot of things wouldnt change or id still have to deal with them but id have you to help me and give me advice and tell me your expierences with it and so on. i was thinking about how things might be and i think you would be with brian. i think he was the one. i think you would be sucessful and in a nice house. you might even have a new car by now. you would travel with me and we would do amazing things. i love you. i miss you unmeasurably.

so its kind of hard for me to come on here. i used to do it alot more but its just not getting easier. your 27 now. crazy! your an old woman! ha ha i wonder if id be a aunt by now or even a sister in law. living here with out you here is sooo hard. i dont do anything or meet people and i make up excuses to myself and others but i know the real reason. its even hard for me to keep a relationship with stephen. you know what im talking about so im not going to write it out. i dont know how to change now. i dont know alot. i hate the that i am even writing here, like this is a means of talking to you. i should be over your house having this conversation, it would be a different one but it would be one id actually be having with you. it makes me so mad. on these days that id normally be celebrating it bothers me that now no one does. i know why and it would even be hard for me to but i feel like you are being taken from me in every way not just physically. there arent pictures of you up in the house. i know why and i know its hard even for me and i think thats why i it bothers me so much. the fact that i dont even want to put them up bc when i tried to last i had to move them bc it was like it was being rubbed in my face that the moment in time of these pictures is no longer and nvr will be. there will nvr be another opportunity to save one of these moments. there would be many saved moments today of you old lady. i miss you with all my soul and molecule in my being. more than even that. i need you just as much. i feel like im failing with out you. it sucks. i need your help.

Hey Rachelle,
Just thinking of you as always. But you knew that, didn't you? Sometimes it seems as if you're here with me, especially when things are really good or really not so great. I miss you as much as ever, but I know we'll be together again someday. God bless you girl; I love you way up high in the sky ... and bigger!
Love Always,
Aunt Jane

Hey Rae, it took me a while, but I finally got the guts to check out the sight and let you know you're in my heart and I thought about you on your birthday most of the time. I don't want to talk to your mom about it cause I know it hurts more than she can admit to anyone. It's easier for her to have her thoughts privately without an audience. I'm just your Aunt and I seem to think of you alot more than people would think, I can imagine how your mom feels and it breaks my heart!! It doesn't look like anyone has written in a while. But, I'm hoping since your body is no longer with us on earth that your soul is in all of our hearts and you know and feel when we think of you and miss you! I love you!!

Me and Ma went and got tattooed on ur bday this year. it was fun. but of course the day wouldnt b complete without a "moment". im sure you kno what im talkin bout being it is you caused it. but it was funny i guess. graduation is coming up soon. im not really nervous but actually kinda pissed. you are gonna miss out on one fo the biggest things and it makes me a bit angry but i guess i understand. i dont kno how its gonna be leaving the boys in ny when i move to fl. i havent evr been away from them for more then 2 weeks. but i have to move sometime i mean what am i gonna do make them live with me for the rest of my life? we will see how that goes. Raphaela comes from germany to visit on thurday. im really excited to see her. she is the only other person besides you that i tell it all to. you would really love her. i have to finish these stupid projects so yeah. ilove you and miss you and want to see you and talk to you. xo

hey lovie sry i didnt get to u on ur b day. i wasnt feelin all that good. i miss you so much. i love u.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SugarBear!!!! I couldn't get to the computer last night, but you know I was thinking about you all day yesterday!! I miss you so much and still include you in everything I do and everywhere I go; thinking "Oh, Rachelle would love it here!" or "Rae and I used to do this" or "I wish Chelle could see this." It is still so hard to believe that you are gone, and not that you just haven't been able to come visit for a long time... Uncle Ken and I went to Hawaii last week and it was beautiful - I wish you could have been there. Chelsea is getting more grown-up by the day and reminds me a lot of you at "almost 13!" You know, very spoiled but very sweet (at least when you were with me, anyway!!) Well, I love you and miss you as always. It is a comfort to know that you're standing in the sun and dancing and singing for Jesus. God so truly blessed me with having you for a niece. I love you "way up high, in the sky... and bigger!"

Aunt Jane

Hey baby girl. Rough times are upon us again, and I need you. You don't come to me as often in my dreams, and I miss that. I know you are probably busy keeping up with everyone and everything. I still think of you on clear nights when the stars shine bright. Reminds me of laying in Rachel's driveway dreaming up at the night sky and talking about such randomness. I still hold you tight in my heart, and you never leave my thoughts. I love you and miss you more than you could ever know. Rae-Rae. xoxo.

Hey Rachelle,

I'll be coming home for good in December. Germany has been pretty crazy, I know you have probably been laughing at me from up there. I talk to KT alot, she really misses you. It's going to be pretty crazy not seeing you when I come home. I think about you alot, I know you are looking down on all of us, like our guardian angel. I love you,

Lexi

Hi Rachelle,

Just wanted to let you know that Grandma and I are both thinking of you today on your "half-birthday" (and Grandma's birthday)! We miss you terribly, everyday, and think about you all the time. Chelsea and Michael are getting so big, and it saddens me that they don't have you in their lives, but they remember you and your positive influence on them continues through time. I love you as much as ever, and miss you more than words can say.

Aunt Jane

squirt,

we couldnt b apart during highschool. though we grew apart after graduation i would always say you know me and Rae or Rae used to. You got me to open my shell ill always remember you for that. im gonna miss you girl. I hope your lookin down over mom and your uncle myke i know you are. one day well see eachother agian... i love u rae.

Rachelle,



You are the first thing that came to my mind when I woke this morning and I saw the date on the screen of my TV as I watched the news. This date will forever be embedded in my life. I miss you girl. I try not to tear up when I think of the young beautiful life we lost here on earth. To make myself feel better I must rejoice to think you are spending your eternity with our Lord, but it still hurts inside. Keep a space for all of us in heaven above. We miss you so much Rachelle! Love always, Laila

hey its prom day. u made me cry in front of evryone including louis.not to metion it was in school.but its ok i love u. send me some fun like the way we used to do.watch ovr us and make sure u take pictures so i can c them when i come up. i love you and hope to c u soon. xxxxxxoooooo

hey sis.im going to prom. it should be fun. i have been thinking of u like always. i kno i tell u that all the time but its true. i cant describe in words the way i feel.i always have these dreams that u are home again and i try to stop u er tell u wuts gonna happen and u dont believe me. i jus want u to b home and safe with me. nuthing in my life will evr be as big. u r my soul and my breath.if i have a daughter if i have kids there is no question that her name will b Rachelle Kristina. i cant wait to c u. i hope i dont have to wiat the long to b able to. i miss you. i need u here. u could have left like in 40 yrs er so when we r both gonna die er u could have waited til i was with u. but no. well i love u anyway.

I knew Rae and her family all of my life....a lifetime is a long time to know someone. We went to school together, played together and fought together. Rae had this special glow about her, now she is with the angels. I think of her often and wish that she could still be here to grow old with me...we had so much left to do, such big plans. I do, however, have a constant reminder of her in my life. My daughter, Phebe Rae, was born on March 10. I chose to name her after Rae in the hope that she will allow Rae's memory to live on in a different way. Looking at Phebe will always remind me of the little girl with blonde hair and braces that touched each of our lives in a very special way.

~~HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE~~

I will still always celebrate your birthday cuz its the day that you came into this world and embrassed us all with your beautiful smile and warm presence. I will NEVER forget you. Even thou i cant come and talk to you anymore cuz i moved i still look to the stars and talk to you from here. I love you Rae.

merry christmas baby girl.... hugs and kisses all the way around..i wish the best to your mom an dad and the rest of your family... i know your not her but your always here... so much love to you and ill see you soon...xoxoxoxxoxoxxo always and forever, for all my life till we meet again........Brian

i dont kno how many people have the chance to meet someone like u. not very many i guess otherwise their lives would be a good as mine was when i had u with me. i kno u still r but of course its not the same. all i can say is that i will nvr in my life find someone that i could talk to and trust and someone that treated me the way u did. i thank u so much for it. if i could change one thing about my life it would b nothing. evn though i wish some of it hadnt happened. with out all the bad things the good things wouldnt have been so id keep it all the same. i will not accept the facts. i wont and thats the way things will b til i am by your side forevr. i cant stand when people try to tell me that things will get better or easier but thats jus their opinion or wishful thinking. thats for them. not me. they dont kno wut it is to have someone like u torn out from under u. yeah they kno u and love u and had close relationships with u but not like mine im the only one who had that. its like haveing a twin that is 7 yrs older than u. u kno all there is to kno about that person and they all there is to kno bout u. but anyways ill let u back to your buiness with the rest of the angels.

all my love forevr and always

torri

I have very few chances to express myself without having to worry about everybody else, and what they care about.

All I know is that a small group of people understand my pain and why I might cry all of a sudden, for no reason,{ though I would never let the see me shed a tear}. But it hurts me so hard every day that i have to cry just a little.

And just about then I see a pretty sun set sky or a butterfly and I have to smile, because she would have wanted me to, so I do

And you should too--VICTORIA :}

Rachelle,

One year ago was truly the worst day of my life, when I found out you were gone. I miss you girl, and I know that my life will never be the same without you. I miss your smile most of all, and your way of always looking for the positive in every situation. After all I had thought I'd been through in my life, August 13, 2002 was the day I found out what it is really like to be broken-hearted. I know that you know how much I love you; there's never been a question about that. You were always the one person (when you were little or grown-up)who could make things alright no matter what. I learned so much from you, about life and love and family, and even in death you are still teaching me more and more everyday. I will always treasure every moment we spent together and all the memories we made. You are my Sugarbear and I will always love you "way up high, in the sky... and bigger!"

Until we are together for eternity, I love you, Aunt Jane

It's been one year Rachelle and you are still on my mind. I really miss you and hope your family and loved ones are doing well. Love always, Laila

Hey Rachelle -



I hope you are doing well up in heaven. I think about you all the time. I wanted you to know that I had my baby in April. It was a boy and I named him Ryan. I remember telling you I was pregnant the morning of your accident and you were so happy for me. You should see him Rachelle - he is so beautiful. He makes me so proud and brings so much joy to my life. Recently, he laughed out loud and rolled over. He is growing do fast. I miss you Rachelle!!! Until we meet again...With love, Laila

thinkin lot bout u today and everyday. i love u and hope u know how much. xoxoxoxoxoxo

hey Rachelle. i love you. i just had to tell you that befor i go to bed.hugs and kisses. much love sister.

~~Victoria, baby girl, I love you sweetheart. I understand all of your pain. I feel as though I never got to tell Rae how much I loved her and appriciated her. I miss her so much. I still cry at least once a week and I think about her non stop. Rae gave me something that no other female has been able to do. And that's a real friendship. But Victoria, I wanted you to know that I am here for you. If you wanna talk or hang out, call me at 612-9702!! Or call Wade sweetie. We'll hang out, smile, and laugh together! You're not alone baby! Please give me a call, I haven't forgotten about the family. In fact you all have been on my mind often. Take care sweetheart... I LOVE YOU RAE!! I MISS YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD IMAGINE.

Rae Rae you are everything in this world to me. my soul my spirit all of my being. you are my guidence my role model.my sister. i feel like i didnt tell u enough how much i love you. i dont know who loves you more me or god cause i love you so much. i dont know why god has done this i guess he just got a bit jelous and wanted some time with his angel. you are my angel. you always look out for me and help me with everything. you are the only person i have NO secrets from. the only one who knows everything there is to know about me.i was never scared to come to you. that could be because all the "bad" things we do together. i dont know. or it could be because your my sister.the hole you have left in me will never be filled. you have taken 1/3 of my life the other two parts are marshall and jared. im always scared that im never gonna be as good a sister to them as you. im lost without you. i dont know where to go. my life is stopped and im scared Rachelle. you make me so happy and now all i feel is great sadness that seems never to end. i just hope that soon we can be together for ever and you can make me smile again. you have done so much for me and i dont know if i have done enough for you. i hope that i was a good sister to you.when i look in the mirror i dont know who i see.i dont know if it is me any more. you took so much of me with you that i cant tell. i would ANYTHING to have you here telling me boys are trouble and to stop kicking you in the bed and to shut up cause i talk too much when you have work the next day. im gonna miss you telling me what you did that night when you get in late from having fun with all your friends who love to be with you and probly didnt want you to leave.i hope that i have made you proud and will make you proud in the days to come. dont forget me. i love you sister! more than anyone in the universe!i just wish i had told you that when i got the chance. i hope you never doubted my love for you.i hope you know what you maen to me and what you have shown and done for me. i had the most fun when i was with you. i love you Rachelle and always will! i feel like i have to say it millions of times to make sure it gets to you. when i think of you im happy but then the thought of never seeing your face walk through the door again pieceres my soul with a spoon and digs the hole deeper. i have not one feeling of regret when it comes to you except not hugging you enough and not telling you want you are in my life.everything ive done with you is everything i want to do again. even going with you to get your nails done. or the long rides to no where.i miss you more and more every day.i think youd be telling me to be quiet now cause you have work tomarrow so ill let you go to bed and ill be there in a few.

My sisters dad passed away 2 weeks ago, so if you could do me a favor and look after him i would apresheate it. Im so lost for words but i have so much to say. I talk to you all the time, but its not the same. I feel like I need to write you at tmies, but i can never seem so write what is on my mind. I just want to see you smile, play me at a game of pool, talk to me and let me know everything is ok, give me a hug, and do all the things you do best.

Cynthia,

Hi! I hope you get to read this. I don't have your number and I was just wondering how you and the family were doing!?! If you need anything at all you can reach me @ 612-9702. I hope to hear from you soon.

Love you all,

Michelle

Dear Cindy,

Alan and I were deeply saddened and shocked when Andrew called to tell me about Rachelle. Feelings are difficult to put into words. Rachelle was such a sweet spirit that it's hard to believe that she's gone. She was very vibrant and had such a bright smile. When I was around her she always seemed to be in a such a good mood and always so cheerful. My husband and I were so proud of her, she seemed to be doing so well and seemed very happy. It's hard to understand why God decided that her earthly life's purpose had been completed. Andrew said that you and Rachelle had very loving and close relationship. I know that the close relationship that you had must give you comfort now. I pray for you and your family and Rachelle daily. I came across this bible verse and wanted to share it with you.

"And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; And there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, Nor crying, Neither shall there be any more pain; For the former things are passeed away" Revelations 21:4

I pray that you will recieve God's peace and comfort always.

With all are love,

Sherry and Alan Watt

Rachelle -- It has been 1 month today since your accident and I can't get you off of my mind. We miss you so much at work. Bev, Katie and I always talk about you and we hope that you are up in heaven listening. We all love and miss you forever - Laila

Cindy

It has been many years since we last worked together, at the daycare. I remember Rae coming in from school; the first thing she would do was wrap her arms around you and give you a big hug. You had a very special relationship, not just mother and daughter but friends. I am praying for you and your family during this time. Lean on God when you need to, He will be there for you. If you need anything call.

Your friend,

Melvina Castle

Rachelle,

I've been wanting to sign this guestbook for a while, but every time I sit down to write I'm at a loss for words. I'm glad that of the few people I've kept in contact with since going off to college, you were one of them. I'll always remember and cherish all of the memories we've shared together. I've been friends with you for 7 years, and I wish I would have in that time told you in person how much you mean to me. I know for the rest of my life, whether it be one more day or a hundred more years, I will never meet anybody as fun-loving, beautiful, and intelligent as you.



Until we meet again, Cassandra...

Hey Rachelle...I miss u sooooo much and I really wish that we could have spent more time together. You were like a big sister to me and I always tried so hard to be just like you. I will cherish all the memories we made together and think of you everyday. Say hi to my mom and grandpa for me...I know that one day we will be together again and this time it will be forever. I love you and miss you lots.

*Love ya alwayz + 4-ever cousin*

Rachelle, I know that you have been reading these "messages" to you, and I just wanted you to know that I am doing better now. I miss you more than you could ever imagine. You were such a good friend to me and I never really got to tell you how much I appriciated your opinions. I now understand that you are in a better place and I will see you when I get there! You are such a beautiful girl and I'm sure you and Summer are taking care of business up there. I love you girl!

RACHELLE - I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I WAS HEARING WHEN I FOUND OUT YOU WERE GONE. YOU HELD SUCH A SPECIAL PLACE IN MY HEART. ALL THE FUN AND CRAZY THINGS WE DID AND ALL THE MEMORIES WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. I AM TRULY BLESSED THAT I WAS ABLE TO KNOW SUCH AN INCREDIBLE PERSON. IT SEEMS LIKE JUST YESTERDAY YOU, JOHN, DANNY AND I WERE HANGING OUT AT THE APARTMENT AND HAVING THE BEST OF TIMES. I LOVE YOU GIRL AND I WILL MISS YOU SO MUCH.



DON'T THINK OF HER AS GONE AWAY,

HER JOURNEYS JUST BEGUN.

LIFE HOLDS SO MANY FACETS,

THIS EARTH IS ONLY ONE.

THINK HOW SHE MUST BE WISHING

THAT WE COULD KNOW TODAY,

HOW NOTHING BUT OUR SADNESS,

CAN SURELY PASS GO AWAY.

JUST THINK OF HER AS RESTING,

IN THE HEARTS OF THOSE SHE TOUCHED,

FOR NOTHING LOVED IS EVER LOST

AND SHE WAS LOVED SO MUCH.

All I can think of to tell you is that I wish I would have known of your passing before today. I would have loved to have been there for your funeral to show my respect and to see you one last time. I still remember being in your class in kindergarden at W.E.Cherry (seems like yesterday) and then I changed schools, but we were later reunited at OPJH in Mr. Rauls class! You have always been a great friend and an absolute blast to hang out with. I'll never forget the last time we went off together....Amy, you, Wade, my mom, and me went to Outback and we had so many laughs! I trust that you will watch over all of your friends and family as the angel that you truly are! You will be greatly missed, I love ya Rae!

Rae, I know you know I love you, but I don't think I ever had the chance to tell you what you meant to me. You are my best friend (as you were to some many others) you comforted me when others rejected me. You were always there for me even if we lived in different time zones. You inspired me to be a better person, and you never wished anyone harm. You had a wonderful heart and soul.......and you were still fun as hell to hang out with. Everytime I close my eyes I think of you and feel how selfish I am to feel sorry for myself knowing that I will never see you agian on this earth. Save a spot for me up there hon and I will always save a special part in my heart for you. After all, you are my best friend, and always will be. I promise to keep in touch with Aunt Amamda and Mom, Bernie and those crazy kids that made the job of being a "nanny" a breeze. I love you more than you will ever know.



Your best friend

Cynthia, There are no words to express the symthpathy and the sorrow that I feel for you and your family's lost. Please have comfort in knowing that even though Rachelle's stay here on earth was very short, ...her mission was complete... and know that she touch the heart and soal of many. I found a poem that I would like to share with you in hopes that in this time of darkness that this will shine a little light and bring a bit of comfort....



They are not dead, who leave us this great heritage of remembered joy.....

They still live in our hearts, in the happiness we knew, in the dreams that we shared-

They still breathe in the lingering fragrance windblown from their favorite flowers-

They still smile in the moonlight's silver and laught in sunlight's sparkling gold-

They still speak in the echoes of words we've heard them say again and again-

They still move in the rhythm of waving grasses, in the dance of tossing branches.

They are not dead; Their memory is warm in our hearts, comfort in our sorrow.

They are not apart from us, but part of us....

For love is eternal; and those we love shall be with us thoughout all eterinty.

Rachelle lives on in our hearts through bright memories, now cherished. It hurts to see her go, but those sunshine memories will never fade.

With all my love.

We will miss you terribly, you're spirit lives on in our hearts. You are ale\ready someones ANGEL.

Rusty, Cathey, Catherine, Shannon, and Alyssa.

ray you will always be in my heart,and my soul I will always charish the times i spent around you. my love always snac-pac.

God Bless your Family in their time of SOrrow.mYour Family is in my PRAYERS. GOD LOVES US, MORE THAN WE LOVE OURSELVES. He calls us Home, each of us at our appointed time. So that we can find REST with HIM. So continue to PRAY. He knows BEST.

I'm Rachelles' Aunt Christy. Mother's sister. For those of you at the viewing or funeral I'm the one with the long blonde hair that looked like Rachelle's Mom's, sister. I want to thank everyone for their support and love through this trying time. We love Rachelle very much, and the loss is too great to put into words. It really helped to see everyone's love for her. I ask all the Merrill Lynch employees and Cendant Mortgage employees for their continuing support to my sister, Cyndee Fyman when she returns to work. Many of us can escape at some point when we go to our workplace, but, Cyndee will not be able to since Rae worked close by and spent time with cyndee there. Cyndee will have to deal with this loss everyday just for that reason. I met alot of you and it did my heart good to know that you are so compassionate and will be there for my sister since I will not be able to. We are a very close family and I want to be there for her and since I can't be there, I thank you all for being there in my place. I'm sorry for everyone's loss as well and if anyone would like to get some pictures that I have of Rachelle to lighten your heart and enhance your memories you can email me at [email protected] and I will gladly send you a collection that I have that you truly will enjoy. I can't write anymore at this time, I have so much to say and it still brings too much pain at this time. I love my Rae, and thank her so much for the time she suddenly spent with me out of the ordinary (due to our hectic schedules we didn't see each other like we should have), we were thrown together these past few weeks and spent alot of time together and I feel she was preparing us all, and if I hadn't spent that time with her right up to the weekend before she passed, I would be so full of regrets at this time. That isn't a weight I'm carrying right now, and I truly am greatful to her for that. This is the first death our family is experiencing other than grandparents a long time ago. We have a very large family, Rae's mother had 7 brothers and sisters which means lots of cousins, etc. not including her dad's side of the family. I just thank all her extended family and friends for all your support again.

Rachelle,

When I first heard the news my whole world stopped. You were one of my closest friends and I can never replace you. You were the one person that I could talk to about anything. I'll miss teaching you the guitar, your laughter, your opinions, and most of all your smile. Although my heart is broken I know you would tell me to be strong and go on with my life, and I am comforted by the fact that there will be a beautiful angel always looking after me. As I mend my broken heart there will always be a little section reserved for you.

You gave me 7 years of memories that I would not trade for anything in the world. From the first time I gave you a ride home in high school to when you came to see me graduate FSU. I miss you so much, I will never forget you. I will always love you.

All my love,

Andrew

Cyntia,



My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.



Robin Barker

Rachelle,

All I can say is that since you've been gone, I've had the best night of my life.....playing my entire heart and soul out for you and your family and all of our amazing friends thursday night at Jack Rabbits. You were always in my audience, dancin when no one else was or even when everyone else was. You've shared with me some of the most positive vibes my spirit has ever felt and I could never thank you enough for that. YOu always wanted to play on stage with me, so I played one of your favorite songs, Me and Bobby McGee, and I felt your heart in mine while I wailed it away.......it was hard to keep the tears back as I kept my head down when lyrics were not being sung. I've never felt an energy that potent before and I would not have givin it up for anything in the world. You've also inspired me to start painting...(with a little help from Kaite) and I have to say that your energy is in me and all around me. I know you're smiling and dancing in heaven when you hear me play for you and gracefully providing your attention when you see me paint for you. Thank you for being the most beautifully loving friend I've ever had, Rachelle. I love you and will always play for you untill the day I join you.

Rachelle, I came to see you on Thursday, but I couln't seem to find the words. I found some old pictures of you from school. It still seems so unreal, your whole life was ahead of you and it got cut short. But I believe that everything happens for a reason, and I know that you are in a better place now. I love you and will miss you. Amy.

We all loved you Rae. I remember watching you and Jane together when you were just 3 or 4 years old. You were the one who helped me see that my future wife, as she spent time with you back then, was going to be a very special mom someday.

You were the one that could brighten up a room just by peeking into a door and not saying a word.

I can't understand God's ways and I don't intend to now. You were a very special person and there is no doubt now that today you are a very special Angel.

God Bless you and thanks to Him for allowing us the time we had together.

Ken

You are the greatest sister two kids could have we love you and we are gonna miss you but we know you are with us always.



Love your sister and brother Brianna and Torey

FOR EVERYTHING THERE IS A REASON,THOUGH WE KNOW NOT WHY,I GUESS SHE IS IN A BETTER PLACE THEN HERE, WITH OUR MAKER IN THE SKY,MAY GOD WATCH OVER HER FAMILY AND BLESS THEM,IN SINCERE SYMPATHY, THE MOORE FAMILY

Rachelle was an absolute joy to work with. She was bright, energetic and always eager to learn and perform the best possible job at Merrill Lynch. She will be sorely missed by her co-workers and all those employees with whom she came in contact with through Client Services. More then that, Rachelle was wonderful, cheerful person - we will all rememember her beautiful smile! On behalf of the AP department, our thoughts and prayers are with her family and all her friends whose lives she touched.

I met Rachelle through Beverly Bowen. I remember the first time I met her. She had a big bright smile on her face and gave me a big hug and said anyone who know's Beverly is a person that I want to know. Because Beverly is so dear to me. And ever since that day we became good friends. At times I would call her just to hear her sweet voice. Rachelle had the type of voice that would cheer up any kind of problem. That's one thing that I loved about her so much. And I'll miss her dearly.

To all the family, I wish you peace and strength and god's blessings through out the rest of your life. If you trust in god he can be your strength and peace. All you have to do is call upon his name and he'll be there.



With all my love and prayers!

My thoughts and prayers go out to the family in hearing about your loss. My daughter recently transferred to this department and shared the sad news with me. May it comfort you to know that God has promised that we will be reunited with our dead loved ones. (John 5:28,29) So throw all of your sorrows on the God of comfort who is able to sustain you during this time of sadness. Regenia Vessels & Family

Cynthina,



You and your family are in our prayers.



Cheri and Glenn Pius

Cynthia and Family,

May God give you strength and comfort. May he watch over you and your family. Someone once said to me "God does not take all thorns he takes roses too" Your daughter was truly a rose. We love you.

Cynthia, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time.

My sister, Melanie, grew up with Rachelle and they were the best of friends. I watched them grow up and share the best times together. She was a blessing to all of her family and friends. She will be greatly missed! My thoughts and prayers are with you now and always.

Amy Myette Boyle

May God keep and Bless, you and your family. Help and guide you through, this such tragedy. I know Rachelle will always have, a place in your hearts. Although she's in a better place, that sits far apart.

May God comfort and bless you through everything. It was a pleasure working with Rachelle.

Dear Cynthia,

The first moment is the worst one and hopefully over time You and Your family will feel the strength from all of those who are so sad for you at this time. Please let me know if there is ANYTHING I can do to help YOU and know that many of us here at Cendant are thinking and praying for You and Your Family.

Cynthia, My deepest heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. You are in my prayers and my thoughts.

I never had the chance to meet Rachelle, but i had the chance meet and work with her mother. But from the pictures and from the way her mother talked about her she was a beautiful girl, with a loving spirit. Always in my prayers. To the family we may weep at night but know joy comes in the morning, Rachelle is in a better place which we call the promise land. God Bless!

Cynthia, My deepest heart felt symphathy goes out to you and you are in my thoughts and my prayers.

Cynthia,



Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Rachelle will be greatly missed. God Bless!

Cynthia:

My thoughts and prayers go to you and your family during this difficult time. May God give you the strength, hope and wisdom to continue on life's path.

I was a fellow classmate of Rachelle's throught Junior High and High School. I am saddend to know that such a wonderful person has left us. You all have my deepest sympathy.

I never met Rachelle personally but I am sure have spoken to her many times because as cashier for another Merrill Lynch office, I am frequently in touch with our Jacksonville facilities.



My heart and prayers go out to you. Our Anna went to be with the Lord in May of 1997 and, although I know she is in Heaven, time stopped that day and since then my heart is certainly just as torn. I am sure it will always be until we are reunited in our Lord's presence. My life has forever changed. Not a thing nor person will ever, ever make it the same. I will grieve the rest of my life. I will grieve, however, in hope, precious hope, blessed hope, for I will hold my Anna again. What a precious promise from God who cannot lie! I am so grateful to a Saviour that brings His comfort and His peace in even this, our most cutting and enduring pain. Death casts a long shadow that reaches into every crevice of life and the days of grief are long. When you need to weep, weep. When you must sit in darkness, sit for awhile. My heart is heavy with your grief because it is heavy with mine and I shed tears for your sorrow for I also shed them for my own. Most of all, though, I pray. I pray that we will continue to turn our faces towards the healing Light of Jesus and allow His compassionate embrace to comfort us in this anguish that only He can bear for us and that we might continually be blessed with His peace that passes all understanding.

Cynthia & Family,



My prayers and thoughts are with you.



With Deepest Sympathy,

Maureen Foster

Rachelle always had a smile for everyone. The memory of her smile and love of life gives me the strength to to face tomorrow.

I am so sorry for the loss of your precious daughter. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I would like to express my sincerest condolences for your loss. I know that she must have been a wonderful person and if there is anything that we can do to help you in this time of need I hope you know that the door is always open and all you have to do is ask. May you all be well.

Cynthia, I can't express in words the sorrow that I feel for you. As a parent I can only imagine. You and your family are in my prayers. I cry for you and your family, and can only pray for peace and strength (Strength: God's miracle working power!) during this time. God Bless you! LaTasha Butts, Cendant Mortgage.
