Rachel was a loving beautiful person, and always wanted to be around her Family and Friends. She had a contagious laugh, and she LOVED to Dance. She lived a good life. Rachel was a homemaker and a wonderful cook. She loved music, playing poker, and watching her Dallas Cowboys Football Team on Sunday's. She was always excited to go Camping, taking her trips to Laughlin, and vacations to California. But was always happy for our Family BBQ's and being together with her Family and friends. To her FAMILY was everything. Rachel was fully devoted to her husband Chris and a beautiful strong mother to her Children. But her Grandchildren were the light of her life. Her love for them was immaculate, always making sure her grandbabies were happy. We all are grateful for all the love that Rachel gave to us. We were blessed that God gave her to us. Rachel…thank you for being you. You brought so many people laughter, happiness, and joy. You were the perfect example of what God wants for all of us…to live a good life and to cherish our FAMILIES.

Rachel, my beautiful childhood friend. I've known you since grade school, and I am extremely saddened by your passing. I don't think God ever prepares us for the loss of a loved one and my prayers are with your husband and kids. You left a beautiful legacy that will forever be cherished. I know you fought so hard to overcome this ugly monster that has taken so many before their time. Rest In Peace my friend. Love you❤
