Our sweet little Rachel has returned home to our Heavenly Father.
Emy said she looked so peaceful and so happy...
Rachel had an episode yesterday, late afternoon that confirmed to Fred and Emy that she was not going to get better. She was so brave and has fought this fight for so long. Fred and Emy made the decision to take her off life support. Her left lung had almost completely collapsed and her right one had started to collapse. Emy said enough is enough. They knew there were people waiting for her on the other side. I know Hannah and Ryan were welcoming her with open arms.
Rachel passed away about 2 o'clock this morning.
The funeral will be Saturday. The viewing will be Friday. They don't have set times yet. I will let you know what times these services will be held.
Rachel has touched the lives of us all. She was beautiful and brave....and now she is free.
Emy said when Jack was little and Hannah passed away Jack said "Mommy, I'm so sad for me, but so happy for Hannah."
As it is with us....we are so sad for us, but so happy for our sweet little Rachie.
Please keep Fred, Emy, and their family in your prayers.

I know this is a difficult time for all of you. Please know that our prayers are with you! We love having your girls in primary with us. We'll miss Rachel! I do know that she has got to be so thrilled to be reunited with Ryan and Hannah. I've got such mixed feelings...it makes me sad to think of your family going through this, yet I know that Rachel must be happy to be free of the many ailments that she was faced with. I know our Heavenly Father will give you comfort and peace.

Words just don't express the heartbreak and sorrow we all feel for you and your family. I am so glad I had the privilege to have Rachael in my primary class. We are all better people for knowing her and having the opportunity to serve her. We love all of you and are so grateful to have you in our lives.
ReplyDeleteMy heart is breaking for you guys, but I am happy for your sweet baby. What an amazing family you are, I admire you in so many ways. Our prayers are with you. Thank you for being a great example to all.
ReplyDeleteI thought about all the memories I had with Rachel while at school. She was so much fun. She loved therapy time. For fun, we would roll Rachel over Sam and Rebekah and she would laugh, and she brought smiles out in all of us. Just lots of fun memories with her. I am so glad I have had the privilege of having Rachel in my life. Rachel, I love you! Ms. Jenni
