I was so sad to hear of Rachael's passing. Although I knew her only briefly, she left a great impression of her beauty, both inside & out. I hope that your many wonderful memories will sustain you through this time of grieving. She left the world a better place. Thank you, Rachael! I'm happy to have known you.

My condolences to all who knew and loved Rachael. With shock and sadness at this loss I remember this special woman. I was graced to meet her once and have thought of her often since. We spent several hours talking and sharing while, we both attended Coffeehouse with people we worked with as support staff. I've never met someone like her, so open, engaging interesting & lovable. I felt like I had just made a real friend. She listened like she really cared and we made a fast and strong connection. We did exchange phone numbers but, never did call each other. I went to a yard sale at the complex where she lived but, was disappointed I did not run into her. I truly wish I had tried harder to reach out. Life and friendship is so precious. I am grateful for the gift she gave of herself and am inspired by her light. My thoughts & prayers are with her family and loved ones.

I have such positive memories of this lovely woman and fantastic mother. Although I had not seen her in awhile, Rachael is the kind of person who leaves such a lasting impression and has you wanting to know more.
For a time when our daughters were young, I was fortunate enough to be a part of her circle. Many years passed since we were actively engaged, but we were planning to reconnect. I truly regret that we did not do it sooner and that we did not have the opportunity to spend more time together over the years.
Rachael's passing has been a wake up call to me and in her honor, I plan to reach out to the friends with whom I have not stayed in better contact.
My thoughts are with Chloe and Caleb and her family now. I will see you on the 15th. Please let me know if I can help.
Love,
Rachel

A few months ago I was trying to find you on facebook. You were heavy on my mind. We met when we were both pregnant with our first babies and our friendship continued for many years after that. Eventually our lives took us on different paths and we lost touch. As sad as this moment in time is, it's always that brightest star that fades the quickest.
you will be missed. My regards to your loved ones.

Dear Family, Thinking of you here in Iowa. We remember when you all came to Iowa for our daughter Nancy and Uncle Joe Johnson wedding 1997. Joe is 2 yrs. older than Rachael and they grew up as dear friends and playmates. Rachael was a proud Mom as Caleb was ring bearer and Chloe was flowergirl in the wedding. We had a fun time. GMA Jean loved and talked of her often to us. Deepest Sympathy!
