In memory of Rachelle!


Tayson is sitting on my mom's lap and Alyssa is standing in front of me.
8 years ago today my amazing sister Rachelle passed away. She had non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. Rachelle had this cancer for almost a year. She had 2 beautiful children named Tayson and Alyssa. Rachelle was one of those people who would say hi to you in a random store. She was the most Christ like person I have ever known. Rachelle would always make sure everyone else was okay around her before she thought about herself. I always looked up to Rachelle. I couldn't figure out on why or how she was always so happy. Even when she was sick and in so much pain! I remember there was a time when a friend wanted to come and visit her and just before we let that friend in she was in so much pain that day and was really struggling. But when that friend came in she just lite up and pretended she was fine. I remember thinking "Wow....she really is just like Christ".
I am so very grateful of the knowledge I have that families can be together forever! I know she is doing so much great work here on this earth. I know she is still out there touching lives but pain free!
I love you Rachelle! I miss you so very much!!

What a wonderful person she must have been. I am so impressed with your whole family and I wouldn't expect anything less from Rachelle. She would be (and is) so proud of you and what a wonderful mommy and wife you are. Many hugs to you guys!

Rachelle truly was an amazing person I barely knew her and she touched my life! She is the kind of person you wish everyone could be like! I am so happy you get to see her kids still I bet that means a lot to her.
