There are no words to express the sadness I feel at hearing of Rachel’s passing. It was always fun when she would come over for a “knitting” lesson. I’m guessing I wasn’t a very good teacher but I always enjoyed her visits.. She was so excited showing me the plans for her home and having me visit when it was completed. She definitely was a very special person. My thoughts and prayers are for you both.
To Rachel I was Gramma Carm, God Bless her!
~ Carmela LaRochelle - January 16, 2021
Rachel was simply an incredible person. Thinking back over the many years we were friends I cherish the memories of our time together. I am so sorry she is gone and my deepest condolences go out to the Martineau's.
~ Connor Irwin - January 16, 2021
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Rachel was such a beautiful woman both inside and out. She always had a great attitude and a big smile to share. So sad that she was taken at such a young age. With deepest sympathy,

Linda and John,
Peter and I remember Rachel
growing up. Coming over sitting on our lawn with
Jessica watching Tallon and the other kids in the
neighborhood play basketball. At times sitting on the porch just laughing. She was full of
sunshine!! She could light up any room, and it was such joy
to watch her grow.
We also remember you and John walking hand in hand
Around the block smiling stopping to say hello. Josh on his bike and as he grew riding the lawnmower! We had the pleasure of having Josh mastering his art redoing our sidewalk. He too was a shining light!! so now Rachel and he are two of the brightest stars that will light our sky at night.
May God help to bring you comfort and peace, but know you both have presented heaven with another angel.
God Bless you both,
Kathy and Peter Troiano

Rachel was definitely full of life from her smile to her personality, sporting her hats always showed her character of class and fun. My hubby Bryce worked with Rachel at C&S and he will miss their break room chats over a quick cup of coffee while catching up with daily life. Rachel was always smiling and will always be remembered for her loving nature to be a friend. May you find peace knowing Rachel was a great person and friend to all that came into her life as she will be dearly missed. Sending our deepest condolences during this time of great loss. Until we meet again Rachel ??

Uncle John and Aunt Linda,
It is incredibly hard to wrap my head and heart around such a truly sad event. With that, I cannot begin to imagine the pain that you must be experiencing. She was such a bright and beautiful soul. I am positive her and Josh are together, watching over you both.
Rachel,
I will personally hold getting married with you and your parents in attendance, in a very special place in my heart. It may not have been very recent but it meant so much. All of my memories with you make me smile and I am honored to know you and call you my cousin. My family. You are loved and will be missed beyond measure.
Love, Danielle

No words can express the pain and sorrow that I am feeling. The love, compassion and joy that Rachel brought to us all will never be forgotten. Rachel was an inspiration to everyone around her. Her big heart, personality, laughter and smile were contagious. I am so fortunate to have known Rachel for the last 27 years, I have so many wonderful memories.

I had the pleasure of getting to know Rachel over the past couple years. I looked forward to our conversations and her giggles. She was patient, kind, dedicated, and compassionate. She adored her family. She was a beautiful person inside and out. She was a beacon of light in this world, and will be missed.
~ Heidi Czajkowski - January 14, 2021
John and Linda,
Rachael exemplified everything a parent hopes for in a daughter. Her love and devotion to her family was apparent, her smile lit up a room and was a light in the darkness when you lost Josh and as a family you continued to grieve his absence. We can’t imagine what you are enduring, and pray for strength for you both.
With love, Deb and David
~ Deb and David Seal - January 14, 2021
Dear Rachel on your birthday the day God lent you to this earth may you and Josh celebrate your first birthday in Heaven embraced in each others arms. Please watch over your Mom and Dad and guide them through this journey that has been given to them on this earth.
Rachel your smile lite up the room- your laughter was contagious- your love of family exceptional-your work ethic outrages. To watch your life's journey was amazing to say the least!!! Rachel you were sent here to be OUR EARTH ANGEL brightening all our days. Thank You !! We are so happy God chose our FAMILY to have you come into until your soul left this Earth. I know it's only a matter of time before we see your beautiful face and hold you in our arms. So until we meet again know our hearts ache for that time in OUR journey. Tell Josh we love and miss him too.
All Our Love,

We are so sorry for your loss. My husband Mike worked with Rachel at C & S, I meant her at the company functions.

Dear John and Linda:
How can we say anything that can come close to our heartfelt sorrow for you with this loss of your beautiful Rachel. She was such a loving and outgoing individual and so kind to anyone she came in contact with. We are shocked and heartbroken for this too early loss of your little girl. May God hold her in the palm of his hands and give her wings to watch over all of us here. I will thank him daily for allowing us to know such a beautiful young woman!

To Rachel’s loving parents, John and Linda,
I am writing to you both with heartfelt condolences with the passing of Rachel. She was a ray of sunshine, smiling, sincere and generous with her time for others at CUMC.
Please know Rachel is with Joshua and Our Lord and Savior forever in heaven.
In sympathy and friendship,
Rosemary Occhino-Pilawa
~ Rosemary Occhino-Pilawa - January 13, 2021
I remember being in the financial workshop with Rachel at CUMC, because we were both “singles”. How humbling to have someone so much younger be so bright and knowledgeable, teach me!! But as graceful and nonjudgmental as she always was, it was so helpful. A kind and gentle soul, thanks to her wonderful parents. My heart is breaking ??
~ Karen Love - January 13, 2021
Dear Linda and John,
