I want to start by thanking everyone for everything that has been done for my family. The prayers, meals, cards, e-mails.......They all eased the load. We now have to try to begin a new way of life. A life that doesn't physically include Rachel. As I type the tears flow because I'm really starting to miss her. I know in my heart that she is much better off but, as a mortal being, the pain is still there. We will be okay. We will always have Rachel in our hearts. The outpouring of support from the community has been astounding. I want to thank everyone that attended the visitation and funeral. I have been told by many people how uplifting and beautiful her service was. I've been told of children that have come to know Christ through Rachel's experience. Everyday I hear a new story of how she has changed a life. We went to Gatlinburg in January and Rachel wanted me to ride the chair lift with her. I have a huge fear of heights, so I didn't. She teased me about it. I told her that when she got well we would go back and I would ride it with her. She is now cured, so I am going to Gatlinburg on Wed. and ride that chair lift. I started this website to keep people informed of her illness. This will be my last journal entry. She has now been made whole and is with our Lord. End of story.
