I have spoken to Rachel several times over the last 5+ years trading reference checks. She was always so upbeat and a pleasure to speak with.

She always cared about the ladies that worked with her and the gentlemen she knew.

My heart is a little heavier tonight. She will be missed.

It is with a Heavy Heart filled with deep sorrow that I must share with everyone that our beloved Rachel of Rachel's Review has passed away.  Many of you know that Rachel was family to me.  I considered her to be my sister.  She was family as she considered this community to be family.  Please pray for her family and all of her loved ones that she has left behind.

Having met her many times and shared some wonderful days with her, this news is very sad to hear. She was truly a wonderful woman and shared a lot of her knowledge of the business with me when I was a newbie. I was just talking about her the other day to a hobby friend and was planning on contacting her when I had seen that she was going to be returning to the biz.
This is very sad news and I thank you for sharing it with us.
Rachel was a woman with a wonderful loving heart and soul.

I am greatly sorrowed to hear that she has been taken from us. I will add my prayers and well wishes to her friends and family.

She was always so nice to everyone and I just talked to her last week when i saw she was coming back. My heart just breaks for everyone who knew her.

Rachel was one of my favorite people in this arena.  We used to swap jokes via email & over the phone.  She was always so great & truly cared for her girls & the guys too.  I will miss her comradery & friendship that we always shared.  Her passing leaves a void that will never be filled.  May she rest in peace & in the love of the Almighty.

I am sorry to hear that.  I will keep her and her family in my prayers.  I always enjoyed chatting with her.

WOW... Im tempted to ask, Are you sure?

This is so, so sad..

I hope her kids are ok.

Her life in the last year was full of changes and I had hopes that all would work out...

sending angel hugs..

Hear this news, I will keep her family in my prayers. May she rest in peace

It's clear from the responses that Rachel was a great person to have had in your lives.  My sympathy goes out to her family and all of her friends.

Over the last two years I had talked frequently with Rachel as she alway made arrangements to my ATF.  I've missed contacting her and was looking forward to her resuming her activities.  I'll miss her unique way of brighteining my day.  My prayers to her family.

What I would give for it not to be true.  Unfortunately, my dear sweet friend/sister is gone.  Gone way too soon.  I just finished crying again.  I can't seem to stop.  Thanks for the hugs and well wishes.

She was one my closest and dearest friends - which is a rarity.  And  I cherished her love and friendship.  We were truly family.  I've lost my sister it's almost killing me.

So much loss for you and I feel for you. I pray that you have the strength to carry through this pain and look forward to your bright future. I say bright because that is what you are...like a bright star.
Remember the Ladies Luncheons way back when that Rachel hosted. We enjoyed those so much..partly because of the wonderful host, Rachel.  And I remember meeting you and  how positive and energeti cyou were  about your life...schooling, working out...you have a lot of energy and you can channel it.
When the tears of pain stop falling let your light shine.
We are saying prayers for you as well.
love Sexy

No not Rachel

Awful news, I was trying to reach her this weekend, thought she was busy.

She was one of the best people in this community, terrible loss. My heart goes to her loved ones.
