Dearest Elliott family: Thanks for sharing Rachel's life in this way with all of us. While we did not get to know her due to our distance over the years, this has truly helped us to see what a beautiful, godly girl she is. God bless you all in 2009! Love, Randy and Jen Garcia

Hi Rachel, I can't believe that its 2009 and its almost been a year so you were so wrecklessly taken away from everyone that loves you. Everyday you are always touching the lives of people who didn't even know you, you are truly inspiring to so many people. Rachel keep smiling on all of us down here, because we miss you soooo much!! You are forever loved and greatly missed :)

i have had the same thing happen to me you guys. my uncle died in my arms. oh how close we were. i never forget him. i watch our movies everyday with us together. i never go a day without crying. so believe me when i say i know what you are going through. i do not know who Rachel is but i feel with you all. i understand what all of you must be going through. just know only time will heel the pain. my uncle has been dead for 3 years and i am still taking it hard. im sorry this happened to you. thanks for your time and i hope you continue to your childs thing she did. help the world know what can happen.

We are all missing you today Rachel, our first Christmas without you. You being gone still has not sunk in. All I know is life will never be the same. I love you. Love Chris

I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for the courage to leave the flyer on your car. I hope that more people take the time to read it and recognize the devastation drinking and driving brings into so many lives.

I totally happened upon this site by chance.. I was reading about driving in the snow and then I read a story about this 21 year old named Jason who was hit in the same way. And I am completely confused because my husbands name is Jason and my best friend is Rachel. Maybe this is telling me not to take life for granted. I am so, so sorry for your loss. Your niece was so beautiful and special. I know that she is somewhere so proud of you for this site. Her story is heartbreaking. I looked at her dad's blog and the pain is unimaginable. I think we all get so caught up in ourselves if anything this has reminded me how precious life is. I will not forget Rachel's story. Promise.

HI, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. It truly saddens me to hear about how she passed away. I began to get teary eyed. I'm doing a presentation on Banning alocohol permnanently and it led me to this page. I will pray that God heals the pain that was caused by this senseless tragedy. -expressions of God's Chosen One

On October 3 2008 my sister was killed by a DRUNK DRIVER and i know the pain, and the heart aches too it may be hard at sometimes but other times when it snows or rains the send you their love just think of them waiting for us to go onto the next world to. They aren't gone forever the have just gone to the next world hope to see ya smiling soon!!! LOVE YA!

I am so sorry for your loss. Recently in one of my classes we had to do a project and i chose the topic of drunk driving. During this project one of my close friends who was 17 died because he was hit by a drunk driver. it really made it had to do the project, but i realized that it would get across to my classmates clearer that it CAN happen to them to. I came across your page and noticed that rachel was a part of SADD, so i thought i needed to show my support against drunk driving. Rachels story was a true inspiration, thank you for sharing it!!!!!
