    I met her through her mom I watched her struggle trying to fix food for her children and just stay strong. She was a good person and her mom loved her through it all she’s had some rough times but she’s also has some good time so thankful that her mom got to spend the last few months with her we know she’s in heaven and we’re thankful for that is such a blessing

    I went to junior high school with Rachel and I would spend the night with her at her dad's house across from O'Brian and I'd go to her mother's house too in Orleans and stay there also. I went to a poison concert with her i remember her dad drove us she was so excited it was her favorite band at that time. She always beautiful and had a wonderful laugh I will always remember her. My prayers for all of you.
