Thank you Mrs. Streeb, you are one of the reasons my child was able to successfully navigate the trials of the Springfield school system. I hope your girls hold on to all the happy memories and know what a wonderful person you were, and how you made a difference in many lives. Godspeed.

Heartfelt sympathy, caring thoughts, and prayers. Rachel was a true treasure and inspiration. She was an outstanding educator, administrator, and role model for students and colleagues. She was always joyful and full of happiness. Wishing the family and friends: a song in your hearts; sunshine after the clouds; a rainbow after the rain. Cherished memories. Peace.
