Dearest Rach,

When you asked me to join you on this “mission”, we had the same goal in mind.  We made the journey together holding hands, keeping each other strong.  When you were no longer strong enough to continue the fight, your spirit knew it was time for you to rest.  The hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life was to let you go although I knew it was your decision and the right one.  I will carry on your mission, sweet girl.  I see and feel you everyday in the sun, in your sister and in Adlie…and all the dimes!  While my heart is broken it is filled with love for you.
