We simply had to fulfil Rachel's wishes. It doesn't diminish the tragedy, but I hope it gives her family some solace in that she was able to save two lives and help two others. In the days following Rachel's passing, her saddened Grade 3 classmates composed a book of memories about the tiny friend who always shared a laugh, a treat or smile with them. Innocent thoughts were framed by sketches of winged angels. No matter how much she gave, she didn't think it was enough.
Life is just too fast.
Maybe her story can help someone else. She made us laugh, she made us cry, she made us think. She made us look at ourselves and she made us accountable. What Rachel represents is giving. May God bless you.
