I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across this website. It's awesome and I smiled often. It brings back lots of great memories and a sad one. Aunt Rachel's passing was very sad. The memories are much happier and longer lasting. I can't wait to share this site with my daughter, Megan. So many memories... Thank you. Wow!

It's a beautiful tribute to my Aunt Rachel, who I appreciated more and more as I got older (and wiser about many things!). When I think of her, I remember warmth, happiness and love...thank you for sharing a bit of that with me, ma tante. Many thanks to my South Street cousins for putting together this wonderful site.

You've done a ton of work to the site since I was here last - so many new pix. Great job. If there's anything I can drop by for your dad, let me know. Just checking in.

I still feel sad when I see Rachel's picture smiling and I still miss her and her letters. I hope she won't mind if I start corresponding with her little sister Micheline who would welcome news from the family. The Bible says there are many rooms in the Heavenly Mansion. I hope hers will not be too far from mine. I miss the Hugs. Wehn Rachel hugged you it felt like a REAL HUG. Here it is January 31, 2009 and I am still reading this guest book.

She was such a help when I emptied the fridge.....she woul take anything I could not take back. Nothing went to waste and that made my leaving easier. I guess I will always miss her.I found the following sentiment in my Hallmark Program and it is so beautiful and fitting. I feel it is never too late to share something so beautiful. Those we have truly loved we will always love And that which was deeply felt we will always feel. Remember, death can take all things save one. LOVE remains, for love alone is real. Dear "Crazy Cousin" I miss you! I am still praying for you every night. [edited by Louise] When I left Maine this year I missed Rachel more than I can say.

Those we have truly loved we will always love
And that which was deeply felt we will always feel.
Remember, death can take all things save one.
LOVE remains, for love alone is real.

Dear “Crazy Cousin” I miss you! I am still praying for you every night.

The French hymns were extra special and the homily could not have been better. It made me feel so good to hear someone describe Rahel so well. She was all those things he said and more. The Mercy lunch was a very nice touch. I know they do it in Protestant churches but this is my first experience at a Catholic church. Hope it is something that will spread far and wide. I was thrilled to meet all Rachel's children and finally get them straight in my mind. To meet all her brothers was more fun than I could have ever imagined. What a tribute to a very special person. I had to wait until got back to Massachusetts to write this because I do not have wireless connection in Maine and the dial-up is......as you all know. Love to you all. It was a great day. Many fond memories. I hope Rachel was watching during the beautiful mass. The French hymns were extra special and the homily could not have been better.

Rachel would have enjoyed visiting with 48 of the relatives that were there because she knew them all. We had such a good time and know that it would have been even better with Rachel there.

One of my favorite events every year was Cousin Diane's annual party at Hills Beach. I made it a point to spend a big chunk of my time with Rachel. She was an absolute joy to be with. Totally unpretentious, never uttering a bad word about anybody, always jolly. Who is going to step up and fill the void? The world needs more people like Rachel. She will be missed.

My sister and I were skinny kids and Rachel was a normal healthy looking girl but my father used to tell her he would roll her over a barrel so she could be thin like us. When I look at her pictures I don't see that she needed to be rolled over a barrel. I told my father not to tease her but he told me "If people do not tease you it's because they don'tlike you." I guess calling Rachel "Crazy Cousin" was my way of teasing her and letting her know how much I loved her. " When Rachel stayed overnight at Hills Beach my father always teased her.
