11 years ago today, my mom passed away.I miss my mom.
There is so much I want to tell her, to ask her, I want to have her hold and kiss Lily, to meet my love, Chad.
Some day it will all happen, because I know our family is forever.
Death is so hard, and painful, but only temporary.
Through the love of the Savior we are all able to find that peace and joy that we long for.

Rachel, I remember your mom in our ward and I remember how real and natural she was to be around. I specifically remember this day that we were talking about her, and hearing your memories of her turning up the rock and dancing away in the kitchen with all of you! She was such a good mom. I think the best thing about her, that shines through you with such strength, is her happiness. You are such a positive and joyful person. Also, you inherited her good nature of being so easy to approach. I don't think that anyone could ever feel uncomftorable around you. You got that from your mom. You two are a lot alike! And although I only knew her for a short while, I love her for giving the world a wonderful woman. And for her spirit that seems to have a special kinship for you. Thanks for sharing!
your mom is one of my most favorite people ever. what amazes me is that she let me come over to your house and hang out, play with all of your toys, make a big mess, drink diet coke, some slim fast shakes and fruit wrinkles galore. me and my friends would put on shows for her and she'd just sit and watch and act as if it was the best show she'd ever seen.
i've always admired her for her strength, opinions, faith, humor and love for life. i was so sad when you guys left bellevue. funny how things work out, and i ended up at western for those years before she died. i wasn't thrilled about going to western, but wouldn't trade being up there around your family at that time for anything. you are so much like her rach, she's proud. i know it.
what a sweet post and a sweet picture. I have never seen a pic of your mom, thanks for sharing! i wish i knew your mom as well.

great picture and sweet post rach. I miss her too. She was always my favorite aunt, even if she didn't make you be a person when we played house. I will never ever forget her laugh. Yours is so similar. Love you BOTH.
Thinking of you.
Love Lisette
That is such a cute picture! Your mom was amazing and I loved being in her YW class. She would always give us an outline of her lesson which was pretty cool. She would be very proud of you (is very proud of you). Yea for forever families!
Hugs to you, Rachel. Death is hard. But you're right. It's not forever! Your mama is looking down on you as your raise your beautiful little Lily-and I'm positive she's so proud of you! You're doing such a rocking-good job. I didn't know your mom. But I know you, and you're a great person, and I'm sure she's largely to "blame" for that!
