thoughts of you so sorry for your loss email me back if i could use this for a remander to nnot drive drunk
I stumbled across this while working on a school project. From what i have read and seen, Rachel was a very special girl and i can tell she meant a lot to her family. I think that it is so cool that through her death people are raising awarness of the drunk driving problem. That takes strength, and I'm so sure she is smiling down from heaven knowing that this is going on. Thank you 🙂
I am so sorry for your loss...Your daughter is an impact that will reach out to people because I am using her story in my paper about drinking and driving. God bless you!
I am very sorry for your loss. i read the story of your daughter's accident, and ended up in tears. i have always wondered why bad things happen to good people. i just wanted to tell you, and the whole family, that i will NEVER drink and drive. I also want you keep in mind, that even if Rachel is not here physically, she is still in your heart forever. i'm sorry, and thank you for sharing this tragic story.
I am so sorry for your loss. Ever since I was a kid I was careful about what happened on the roadl. After hearing Rachel's story I did a power point on drunk driving. I picked a couple stories I wanted to tell my class and Rachel's was one of them. Stay strong. Your in my prayers.
i am so sorry for your loss, this is such a tragedy. my uncle was just in a drunk driver accident and is now in a coma. it is just awful. my thoughts and prayers are with you guys.
Just want to say "thank you" to all of you who sign Rachel's guestbook. It's very meaningful to us when a new comment appears. There is nothing that can fix what has happened, but the sweet comments truly do help us and encourage us. I am so sorry for those that have had to endure the horror and the anguish of losing a loved one in such a senseless way. Our hearts go out to you, as we understand the anguish and how the loss impacts every part of life.
My 28 year old son Dustin was killed by a drunk driver on August 12, 2011. Until then I didn't know any of the statistics, didn't know of all the pain and suffering endured by the friends and family of these victims. You hear about them on the news sometimes, and you're horrified for a couple of minutes, but then you forget about it, because it really doesn't mean anything in your life... until it does. And then it doesn't go away. It stays and grows bigger and you get to where you don't trust anyone on the road and you also want to shout at people, hey, wake up! It can TOO happen to you. The death of someone you love or maybe yourself, the family having to deal with "the arrangements", their feelings (which are waaaayyyy beyond anything anyone can imagine they might be), the finances, the empty chair, the lost potential, the legal case (which sometimes results in nothing but more anger and victimization for the family), etc., etc. I am so sorry about the loss of Rachel and all the other innocent victims of people who choose to get behind the wheel and drive drunk. Or distracted by phones, gps, whatever (the "new drunk drivers"). Or who choose to speed, tail-gate, run lights and stop signs, improperly change lanes, etc. These so-called "accidents" aren't accidental. They're preventable. Please, prevent yours.

I'm sorry for your loss. My best friend also has lost someone really close to her due to a drunk driver and i know how hard it must have been. Rachel looked like a very talented young woman and you were very blessed to have her. I will keep your family in my prayers. Stay strong!

For the past two days my school has been participating in the "Every 15 Minutes" program. I have always been against drinking and driving, never have seen the point, nor do I ever plan to do it. I feel so different, just reading and hearing about trageties and the act of the irresponsible drivers, it's eye opening and very, very scary to think that this could happen to anyone. I am so very sorry for your loss, it hurts me physically as well as emotionally just to read this. I can't imagine how hard it must be for your family. My thoughts are with you, thank you for having the strength to share the story of Rachel. I know it will help other teens as well as parents, be more cautious with their choices.
Jill and Steve...thoughts of you....
My heart goes out to the family of Rachel. I pray for you and have you in my heart!!
Hi Mrs. Elliott. You just came to my school and was involved in our every 15 minutes program. I wanted to thank you for all the knowledge you gave me and I will never forget it. Listening to you speak today and yesterday was so touching and I admire you for being so strong. I know it's really hard talking about losing a loved one. I really appreciate it and I know all my peers involved did too. Rachel sounded like a really amazing person and I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you so much for everything these past two days. I'll think about Rachel every time I get in my car now. You and your family and Rachel will be in my prayers. I can't thank you enough.
