I share in your loss. My wife of 53 years died last month 8 years after being hit by a drunk driver. The judge told him, as my wife sat in a wheel chair, unable to speak,walk, feed herself, none of the things we take for granted, that he should be glad he didn't kill her. He was sentenced to 12 months. He did kill her, it just took her 8 years to die. I'm so sorry you lost your 18 year old daughter. We must do something to stop this slaughter on our highways.

Steve, Jill and Erik I am so grateful that the Lord has answered your prayers in wanting Elva Diaz to take responsibility for her actions which caused Rachel's death. I am now even more confident that her capture and punishment will reach many people in understanding the horrific damage of Drunk Driving. I pray one day everyone will realize driving after even one drink could cause such damage and always find another way to get home.

So glad that Elva has been caught. I think of Rachel everyday, and have been waiting for this day!! I know that nothing will bring Rachel, but now Elva will pay for her actions on that February evening. Rachel is so greatly missed by everyone who knows her and even some who didn't have the chance to meet her!

Our sympathy to the family of Rachel. So glad to see the the driver has been found and returned by the Mexican gov. to face charges for her crime. May she get what she deserves.

Just wanted to let the family know that you are in our prayers. Your daughter is such a gift from God. We were graced here on Earth with her presence.

Jill, Steve and Erik. I am so very pleased that Diaz has been captured. You know my heart and what I am feeling for you. . . . Mike and I send our love.

Just found out that Elva Diaz has been caught.... This is some great news, and it has made my day brighter. Today is going to be a good day...

I'm sorry for your loss. My Active Duty Army unit is going through some tough times and i am trying to teach some kids half my age about what they so to families and friends of DUI victims.

Dear Steve and Jill, We are so sorry about the loss of your daughter, Rachel. She is so beautiful!!! I am sure she was just as beautiful on the inside. Her smile exudes love. You are wonderful parents. We don't know why things like this happen. It does seem like the most lovable and precious are taken away early. Please know that we will be praying for you constantly. We will have our prayer group pray that Elva Diaz turns herself in, or is caught soon. God Bless you both. Please send our love to your mom and dad too.

Steve and family, I am so sorry to hear about your loss of your beautiful daughter. There are no words to take away your pain, only continuous prayers, letting go and giving God the reins. I wish you the best today and always.
