Your story is a very touching story. It has inspired me in so many ways. I pray for your continued success!!

I just recently read the article in People Magazine regarding your ordeal. I realize it is an older issue, but it is the first time I had read the article. I actually had read it following an inmate reading the article also. I work in a prison and deal with unpleasant people and events every day. To say that reading your story changed my outlook on life would be a huge understatement. You are truly an inspiration to everyone, not just those dealing with adversity. You can sense that you are a beautiful person, both inside and out, and have incredible strength. I wish you nothing but the best in continued recovery and all other life endeavors you engage in. I hope the inmate who also read the story was positively influenced by the article. Live life to the fullest knowing that you are positively impacting peoples lives everyday. May God bless you and your family.

Rachel, you are truly a "miracle" and I am so glad things have turned out the way they have for you.  I ask your dad everytime he calls into the office how you are doing and he is always happy to give me the updates and progress. Keep up the good work and stay strong as you have all these years.

Rachel, I was also featured in the PEOPLE magazine story with you (family murder/suicide survivor). I just wanted to stop by and say Hi and thank you for being in inspiration to people. I hope you have a great day. -Chris

Hi Rach...I hope everything is going well.  It's been forever since I've seen you.  We need to plan to meet up when I'm home....maybe a smoothie date? I'll let you know when I'm home next.....love you <3

I am a friend of your stepmom's from our Eli Pinney days. As you might already know - my son Mark suffered a TBI on 8/27/10. He is home and doing ok. I talked to your stepmom last night. We would love to talk with you and have you talk to Mark when you have time. He has a lot of short term memory issues as well as speech and walking although that is improving.

Let me know when you might have time.

Great job on your progress and recovery! We think about you a lot and pray for you!

Rachel,

PEOPLE did a wonderful job with your story.  It's awesome what faith, love and determination can do!  We would love to see you some time.  Taylor has a picture of the two of you at the Ohio State Fair holding an alligator that she would like to get a copy of to you.  Hope to hear from you soon.
