Thank you all for the kindness of your sympathes. Thank you for thinking and praying for us and for remembering Rachel. 21 years ago today was a sweet and wonderful day for Jill and I: our first child, a beautiful baby girl, was delivered into our woefully incompetent arms. We were thankful then as we are now. Rachel's life was a precious gift, and we are grateful everyday, always, for her love...

Jill and Steve-thinking about you with Rachel's birthday tomorrow. I will keep you, your extended family and Rachel's friends in prayer...

i am very sorry that this had to happen to you guys i want you to know i really do know how it feels to have tis happen...i am tottally against drunk driving to i think we need more teens out there that are like rachel

I am a nurse, and have seen devistating injuries from drunk driving accidents. I have been a victim of this terrible fact myself. I pray God strenghtens you and your family and continues to bless you all in spreading the message of drunk driving.

I am so sorry for your loss and I pray that what you are doing helps other families teach their children and young adults how their choices can affect the lives of good people.

i am very sorry to hear about your loss and i thank you for allowing others to use this information to help better inform others of how terrible drunk drivigng is and the terrible consequences that come from it. i am using this inofrmation for my drivers education project i have to do 5 posters about drunk driving and your daughters story was very eye opening. she was very beautiful and i hope your family is doing well and god is looking down on you. god bless your family

Hi Steve and Jill-just thinking about you as you come to mind so often. My Rachel is graduating Santiago High School in 3 weeks...Thinking about your Rachel and her babysitting my kids when we first moved in...Thinking of my Rachel going off to College in a few months and her being so far away from me. Not that i am in control, but her Lord and Savior is...but I do know that i will be praying for her safety continually. as I am sure the two of you were for your Rachel. May my Rachel be a vessel from losing two 19 year old girls in her life in seperate Drunk Driving accidents to detour others from it...You are always close in my heart in my prayers.

thank you so much for saving lives....i am touched by this story. you are the angel that saves the innocent from the drunk

I would like to thank all of the people on here who have taken the time to leave a message on Rachel's Guestbook. I would also like to thank those of you who have shared Rachel's story with classmates for your school projects. We appreciate your thoughts, support and efforts towards preventing future DUI deaths. It does mean a lot to us. ~Lando

I'm doing a thing on drunk driving, and this seemed like a good short story to tell my friends what happens when you drink and drive, I may only be in eighth grade but it still maters, God Bless You All, and Stay Strong Love- Taylor
