Rachel Held DeMent

Steve,
I know you haven't heard from me in some time. I also know that your wife was and is everything to you and your children. I want you to know that I feel your pain because we have known each other for quite some time. There is nothing I can say or do to make it right for you, that comes with time. you can count on me to be to the same or even beter friend than I ever have. I can't imagine how your life is with out you best friend but keep in mind that GOD doesn't give us anything we can not handle. I don't know what the end was like for her but for you and your children ther are GREATER thing in store. Please remember that what ever you do or where you go, you are not alone.

You have been a great friend through all me trials and I will do the same for you!!!!


Blessings to you!!!

To the Dement Family:
My thoughts are with you during this time of sadness. You will continue to be in my prayers for many years to come. It was an honor to care for such a loving family. Please let me know if you need anything.

My deepest, heartfelt sympathy to Rachel's family and friends. I had the pleasure of working with "Rae Rae" and MaryAnne years ago when they were with AEI. Over the years, Rachel became more than just someone I used to work with...I truly considered her a friend. I will miss our occasional lunch outings at Aunt Sarah's or Red Lobster. She had such a warm and caring spirit. My heart goes out to Steve, Jacob, and the entire family. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family and everyone who knew her. She shall truly be missed.

I am so sad right now. Rachel was the girl with the "can do" attitude. I lost count of how many times we pushed deadlines and Rachel still came through when my company contracted the services of her company, Personal Letters. She and her sister, Mary-Anne, never said "no" to anything. Everything was always possible. I am grateful that I knew Rachel. God bless her wonderful family in all the days ahead. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

My sincerest sympathy to the entire family. I had the pleasure of working with Rachel and MaryAnne many years ago at AEI and Personal Letters. God gives us burdens - at the same time he gives us shoulders! I will keep you all in my prayers.

My prayers are with you at the homegoing of you family member, Rachel. My name is Shelia Price and I worked with her and Mary Ann for a number of years at PL and AEI. God's blessings upon you all. Lean upon Him for comfort and support. Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning.

I worked with Rachel at Personal Letters. I always admired her unbreakable spirit. She and her sister Mary Anne told me how they gathered with family members & shared stories around their mother's bed in the hospital. I will never forget how they supported their mother and celebrated her life! It is that kind of devotion and love which is so special. God bless Rachel and her family.

I am so sorry to hear of Rachel's passing. I worked with Rachel many years, and will always remember her smile and her devotion to family and work. My thoughts are with her family and friends at this time.

Rachel, you were a dear friend. I was going to come visit you this weekend. I loved you very much. Diane

With heartfelt sympathy for all of Rachel's family...This sad event has come as a shock to us all. Simple words cannot express how I feel for you. I worked with Rachel for many years. Every time I think of Rachel, I think of her infectious smile and her always good natured way. Rachel was so proud of her family and loved all of you very much. She was one of the most awesome women I've ever met! She was such a wonderful person with a great personality. She will be greatly missed by many! You all shared so much love, devotion, and wonderful times that will be in your hearts forever. Words convey so little when the heart is in pain, but we pray that you will have peace knowing that Rachel will always be with you in your hearts and memories and that she rests in a better place - and you will all be together again. May the memories of Rachel always put a smile on your face and love in your hearts. She will be grieved and missed by so many people. My heart is breaking for you. May your faith in the Lord get you through these difficult days and weeks. May God comfort you and give you the peace you so greatly deserve...You're in my thoughts and prayers.
