Geri, my heart and prayers go out to you and your family! No one can fully ever understand what you are going through, with the lost of Rachel. Although it may seem you will never recover, she is sitting amongst Angels, watching over you and will carry you through; as you have carried her through may obstacles.

Jim, I dont know you well, but love you nontheless. My heart was broken for you and Geri when I heard the news of Rachel's passing. Your stories about Rachel reached me through your friend and my husband, Mike Savigliano. The love you had for your daughter was evident. I lost my father when I was 11. I cant tell you the role MY stepfather played in my life. He was a gift to me as you were to Rachel. God bless stepdads like you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you through these trying times.

you left an impact on me ever since I got to know you. I felt close to you right away I never got to tell you that you are the realist person I've ever met and that I have so much respect for you I truly admire you. i wish I would have met you a long time ago, it must've an honor for your parents to have had you as their daughter. It really hasn't fully sunken in yet it just doesn't seem real, I had just hungout with you and can't believe that that would be the last I saw you. I love you and you will never be forgotten, rest in peace , from one Rachel Anne to another.

If I listen to my heart I hear her sweet laughter once more. If I listen closer yet, I hear her call me 'mom'. ...If I look more than a glance, I can see her sparkling eyes and beautiful smile.
And so I have to say
I'm so glad you came my way
It's not easy to say...
Goodbye
Love, Mom Anne Alesiani
