My thoughts and prayers are with your family at this time of grief. Rachel was a beautiful person. I worked with her at Highmark. Even though I had never met her in person, I had several opportunities to speak with her on the phone. I felt like I had known her for years. Please find peace in your hearts knowing that Rachel loved everyone deeply. Beautiful soul she was. Peace be with you now and in the time to come.

One of the very good friends I had while working at Blue Cross Blue Shield. Never a bad word to say about anyone. She loved her family very much. She will be greatly missed, not only by myself, but hundreds of others.

Rachael was a close grade school and Jr. High friend and as many do, have lost touch over the years. Although just a year ago I was fortunate enough to run into her out and about twice. I had two good lenthy visits with her. she was still the Rachael I knew back in school, easy to talk to, laid back, funny and down to earth. Our family knew her son Michael through our son and talked about how he and his family was doing. Michael, I’m so sorry to hear of your moms passing. Also to you Ginny. Our prayers are with all of you at this very sad time. Bob and Kitty Schane
