Last year Rachel decided not to try out for cheerleader. She later regretted it but was VERY excited when she made the drill team.

I also remember her giving heart... last year when we were in Washington DC she wanted to feed every homeless person that we saw. She was even willing to give up her Subway sandwich for them... the nurse in me came out and would not let her. I was afraid that they would put it up for "later" and make them sick. Later I thought how stupid that was... after all where and what do they eat most of the time. Her heart was in the right place...

"I had not seen that picture of the girls. I'll be sure and show it to Taelor. Taelor and Harley are getting ready to try out for cheerleader. This has Taelor really missing Rachel. For AP English Taelor had to write an essay on something that has changed her life. She wrote about losing Rachel. If you want to read it, I'll get it for you. She called from her Dad's house and read it to me last night. She mentioned a Bible verse, maybe from the funeral? Not sure. It suprizes me what stays with this kids. Has it really been that long ago?" (1/26/09)

"Rachel was so giving and kind hearted. She always was curious about the kids I work with. She wanted to help with the younger ones. She even liked talking to some of my teenager that I worked with. " (1/26/09)
