WIth Heavy Heart


Dear family and friends,
After her long battle with cancer, Rachel passed away in her sleep tonight.  She was at peace with family by her side.  There's no pain where she is now.
Rachel was a beautiful soul and she lived a wonderful life.  Always with a smile, she inspired many people in many different ways.  She was a devoted wife and mother, driven by her love of family and her faith in God.  She was an amazing woman and strived to make a difference in everything she did.  My kids and I will struggle to find our way without her... I hope you will please say a few extra prayers for Chris and Katie as we face that struggle. 
Throughout her treatment, Rachel and I were overwhelmed by the level of compassion and support we received.  She was ever grateful for your prayers and well wishes and she garnered strength from your words of encouragement.  We were (and continue to be) blessed to be surrounded by such caring friends and family and I hope you will accept my heartfelt gratitude for all you have done.  Rachel's family, the kids, and I thank you for your empathy and kindheartedness. 
God Bless,
Brant
