Raquel its almost been 5 years my heart is still broken in pieces from this. i find that i haven't met a single person so far that could even compare to mine and yours friendship. i haven't opened up to anyone the way i could with you. You were the sweetest most caring person i have ever met, lately you have been popping up in my dreams a lot:( i wish that you were still here to be crazy with me. till this day people say that i look like you.. i can't help but wonder how you would be if you were still alive.. so many people and things have changed since you left. i miss how things use to be. :/ raquel you will always be in my heart! i love you baby girl, i still go see your mommy and ziggy. i will miss you forever this is not a pain that will ever go away or be healed</3 love you kel belll<3

The last time i saw Raquel, she was a little girl, so happy and playing with her sister, and Shelly looking on so proud. I know she will be forever remembered. I will pray for your family. I know God is with his children.

She Was There

The sun was settling into the night
So full of love, shining its' light
Wisps of a breeze, comes upon the shore
This scene of youth, their smiles galore

Transcending upon her spirit from afar
She was there, I felt her, our precious star
Softly the wind picks up a little prance
Whirling around in its' glorious dance

Smiles for the ladies
Smiles for the night
Smiles for the men
Smiles for the light

A dance of song, for this is your time
They stand together, all proudly in line
Smiles for our angel, she watches from above
I know she was there, I felt her love

Her hair was made up with a beautiful dew
Looking so gracious, just like all of you
She danced in the breeze, danced with her class
It's her homecoming too, she's home at last

Smiles for the ladies
Smiles for the night
Smiles for the men
Smiles for the light

She was there you know
I felt her in the breeze
Her spirits always here
Dancing in this Autumn scene

This poem was written for Raquel - With love and memories of her spirit and how we all miss her so. Think of her often.

Baby girl I seen your picture in the paper, it still makes me cry. Lord knows your friends and family and myself miss that smiling face. No amount of justice will ever be served that would ever replace a beautiful girl such as you. You are surely missed and will remain in my heart forever along with all your friends and family. I see you playing in the fields of Our Father's heavenly flowers cheering your heart out. Love Mona and Joey

To the Carreras family: Not a day goes by that I don't think of you and of Raquel. My son is still grieving for Raquel and always will. He feels he should have died instead of her. I think he will always carry this with him and I know everyone who lived this terrible tragedy will always carry Raquel in their hearts.

like i got told that i couldnt tryout for cheerleading till i got my GPA higher and like sha-dee got in a car accident,
it was your day.
you kno what i hate life
right now now.!:(
everything is going oh so wrong.
im doing bad in school.!
i never do bad in school. i always got good grades and now well.
idkk what is happening everyone is being so weird.

but i found this saying that i think is better to explain why things go the way that they do instead of when people say oh god wanted her. well hahah yah so know this is what i am going to say:

"To every thing there is a seson, and a time to every purpose under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die..."

idkkk it doesnt make sense. though.
why did it have to be your time to go.!?
well bby everyone misses you so much:(

This is me and my friend Josi, we don't know you, but we live in your area. I heard about you on the news, & I was just looking at your myspace memorial page, we started to cry, it's like I knew you ; I feel so bad for everybody who became close & lossed you. They all loved you . I know it's been a long time since your death, but I just remembered you from the news randomly. We miss and pray for you, even though we never met, it's like we new you .


PLEASE, R.I.P !

last night on myspace i was reading a poem that someone had wrote for her and i was written 1 month after the accident and like i just got this funny feeeling in the pitt of my stomach just like i did when i first heard. i didnt like it.
but i kno that raquel is in a better place now and that she is watching down on all of her friends and family to make sure that they will be ok and everything is going to be alright.

it will be 5 months next friday:(
and it is just to hard to belive that its been this long that i havent seen her.
i miss her soo much and i wish that she was still here soo all the pain would disappear.

and i wish u could have!
i got asked to be on comp. squad for bandits!

i was soo excited to get asked and i wanna do it but it wont be the same without you here to show you and to tell u.
sometimes i think i see you and i look back and your gone!
and sometimes when i call ur phone i tell uu on ur answer machine to call me back when u get the message then i relize what i just said and hang up!
i want to get that call where u are on the oter line saying hi to me.

i misss youuu so much gurl!

raquel it's hard to know that you are really gone. I met you in the 7th grade at meadowlawn in 5th and 6th period you always were the one to be smiling and laughing. everyone loves you and misses you and then in 8th grade we had science together those we the good times I miss you and I will never forget you.

Happy Birthday Raquel. We send you our love and we miss you very much. I went to your house on your birthday and I could feel your presence there. What a wonderful family you have and the pets miss you too!! Your Mom and Ruthie miss you so much and I will always be here for them. You will always be our little CARE BEAR and so many of us are still deeply saddened by your passing. I know and I feel that you are still amongst us and watching over us, that spirit of yours will never leave us it will always be a part of us until we meet again. I love you Raquel.

It is not easy to find the words to say to a mother and a father who love their children so much. Losing a child is losing part of your life. The seed that was planted to continue a legacy in life. Finding the comfort to know that God has given us a promise to reunite with the ones we love when we pass to the other life. I want you to know that I really feel for you Michelle and Alfredo. I hope that you find some comfort in knowing that God decided to take one of your little angels to be with him. He always pics the best ones and Raquel was a true angel of God. The sweetest girl with the ability to make others feel happy around her. Please know that I will always be here for you.I will forever cherish your friendship and wish you always the best.

words could never express how badly I feel for her family, as well as her friends. I did not know her but she certainly was well loved. May your angel soar high in the heavens and meet with mine. God bless!

Raquel, you've gone away and Joey is off the team.. I wear your pin every game...I will never forget you, ever. It just was not the same at any of the games for me after what happen to you. I miss seeing your smiling face and the hugs you always gave me when you seen me. We miss you and everyone misses you and you will always stay close in my heart..its just not the same anymore without your bubbly sweet self around. I know your watching over all your friends now and your family, smiling down from Heaven. The sunflowers will bloom again.. I cant wait and I will see your pretty face everytime I see a beautiful yellow sunflower....
