Rachel, you will be missed by all that knew you. Your parents, your husband and most of all your little girl. She so looks like you. There is nothing anyone can say, except until we meet again, may your memory carry your family through missing you. I like to hope that several who went before you are there with you. I am so glad i was able to see you the last time we were in Ohio. Sending prayers and hugs to all that will miss you. Godbless. Love your family from Michigan.
