When I found myself raising a granddaughter I would not have known where to turn if it had not been for all the help and guidance Rachelle offered me. She was truly an angel in my time of need.

I am very sad to hear that Rush has passed away. She had boundless energy and found many ways to share it in this lifetime with other human beings. I first met Rush at St. Louis Academy where she was one year ahead of me in classes. My sympathy to her family and friends, who are many. I share in your sorrow and in your joy for having known Rush in this lifetime. She was a woman of deep faith, so I am certain we will see each other again in God's presence.

What a full life Rachelle had at such a young age. She did so much for so many, and sadly, could have done more for the world had she not lost her battle so early.
