My heart goes out to Rachel’s family and her son Jack. I taught Rachel in the Respiratory Therapy program and loved to hear stories and see pictures of Jack. She sure was a proud Mom! Rachel’s smile was contagious and always brightened my day!

Our heartfelt sympathies go out to your family and to all who knew and loved Rachel. Although we didn’t know Rachel very well off the basketball court, we knew she was a force to be reckoned with on the court. Our family was connected to yours in many different ways through basketball during the girls high school years. All three of our girls either played with or against Rachel and Kara, or were coached by Jeff. We have very fond memories of those days. Rachel meant different things to different people and was someone who meant so much to so many, as a daughter, a sister, a granddaughter, a teammate and as a friend to so many, but also as a great mom to Jackson. Her memory will live on through him. We hope that your cherished memories of Rachel will give you some comfort in the days to come. We are sending our deepest heartfelt condolences. Julie and Tony Gubbels

Jocelyn, Jeff and Rachel I am so sorry for the loss of your beautiful daughter. I had the privilege of babysitting the girls when you all first moved back to Aylmer. Many Saturday afternoons spent on Harvey st with the girls. She was a great kid to babysit and although I haven’t seen you all in a long time I still think of your family often. May you hold each other close during this difficult time. Stacey Hayhoe (Heyerman)

The world lost a beautiful person, inside and out, on Saturday. We lost touch when I moved away for school but would connect every so often and check in. It was incredible watching you become a mom to beautiful Jackson on my birthday, and I’ll think of my birthday buddy and you every year. I have so many fond memories of our highschool days, we were goofy, a bit wild, each others biggest supporters, and inseparable. I’ll always remember your infectious laugh and that bright beautiful smile. Until we meet again Rachie ❤️❤️❤️❤️ have so many memories with you

What I’d give to have one more conversation with you; to hear one more story about the sweet, smart, adventurous and creative Jackson through your eyes. Thank you for always calling me and trusting me to be your lighthouse. Until we meet again, you’re free to fly with the Angels. You will forever and always be my best friend. I love you. Say hi to Mom for me <3
