Dearest RACHEL Today and always we cherish The memories of the life we shared Love you always Family
To my darling daughter RACHEL You are close to me, Within me Forever part of me in the memories we shared In the time defying bond I hold so dear And in the love and brightness You brought to my life Perhaps we disagreed on certain issues, but from beyond I suppose you now realize I only acted in good faith as your father. You might be out of sight But I feel you with me Infinitely close to me For I will carry you in my heart Always Wherever I am You still give me hope, and you have never ceased to lighten up my days and to somehow undarken the nights. Yes, my dear I still see you in your light green heavy jacket, silky curls tumbling on your shoulders, standing by the fridge smiling while looking for something to nibble, And that, Rachel, Will never change. George Barbaro Sant
