Oh, so sad to learn of the loss of such a wonderful woman, wife, mother, daughter, friend. Please know that more people than you can measure care. Tony, it was inevitable that you would find a remarkable partner, even as early on as your days at Jefferson School.She will live on in many hearts and memories, as she will for you, until we all meet again. Prayers for you now and may peace come for you and your family.
With loving thoughts, Mrs. Hibbs

Terrible news. My family and I are very sorry. I went to school in Madison with Rachel, and we served together at the Wisconsin Union. She was an amazingly positive force for everyone lucky enough to spend time with her.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Please except my deepest condolences in your loss of such an inspiring woman. I met Rachel through the Hope Network dinner a few weeks ago. She had an energy about her that showed the passion she had for helping others. My prayers go to the entire family and the Hope Network family as well.

I am so sorry for your loss. I was fortunate to work with Rachel, and she was one of the kindest, most genuine people I've ever met. Rachel was a very good friend to me when I was going through a very difficult time of my life when I lost my sister to cancer. She was such a great listener; I will never forget that. I know there are no words that will provide adequate comfort, but I pray that God wraps his loving arms around you. My deepest sympathy to your family.

Dear Mitz, Becky and Families, We are so sorry to hear the news of Rachael's passing. Seath is difficult to bear under any circumstances, but particularly hard when faced with the death of your child. No matter what, however, when you can, remember all of the things you have shared together and know and believe that the love you shared lives on. Love from us both and our family.

Words seem inadequate. I knew Rachel in high school and reconnected with her on Facebook several years ago. She was a vibrant, caring and passionate woman. It was obvious that her family, especially her boys, were her life. I will always remember her smile - she was beautiful inside and out. My deepest sympathy to Rachel's entire family.

We have many wonderful memories of Rachel in the few short years that we have known her. One that makes me smile to think of is the night we played Cards Against Humanity around the dining room table with the kids. Sending all our love to Tony, Ben, Jon, and all her family. Rachel was dearly loved and we miss her terribly already.
