Happy Valentine's Day, Rachel! / Dianne/Mom Of Angel Nicholas White (Connected by Angels )
I hope your Valentine’s Day is great. I hope it’s quite a treat. I hope you have a happy day Filled with things so sweet. This poem’s for you because I care. I can’t get more specific. Well, yes I can, and here I go… I think you’re terrific! By Joanna Fuchs
I am sorry that Rach and I didn't keep touch like we should have when I changed schools. I guess people lose touch with the important things In life and later on figure out how many more memories they could have had.
If you ever need ANYTHING at all I am here for you guys.

Another Holiday Without You / Christian Newsome (none)
I pray that your holiday is fulled with everything we couldn't give u I hope the stars are enough to light up your world I hope that everything you ever wanted has now reached you Because nothing is the same down here Cause my heart still aches My tears are still fallling And my life has changed completely I don't want to see another holiday come near Because it's just another holiday that I have to spend alone Alone with my thoughts and memories of what it was the years before And with Christmas just around the corner I don't want to see Because it's just another holiday without you.

Happy Thanksgiving / Donna Connor (Sharing angels )
Dear Marilyn, A Thanksgiving wish that your day went well. As I stood around the "Beach" table today holding seven kernels of corn followed by a wonderful story of what each kernel meant I couldn't help but think of you, your family and praying your day went well. I thought of Jill and Rachel. Silent deep breaths in between the laughter and story. Smiling though but thinking of these parents, courageous people as you are even if you think you aren't. That's what one of the kernels meant "courage". If these girls displayed their courage they got it from somebody so I hope and pray their was laughter where you live around your table. And though I can't imagine....I feel deeply when it comes to you parents, the kids, the family.
Prayers for each of you, my Love to your Beautiful, Brave, Sweet and "Courageous" "Rachel". Her Legacy page tells alot. Pictures say a thousand words...
~my candle remains lit~ Happy Thanksgiving to all :)
love Winnie
ps...lol my computer was mis-behaving, I'll be in touch. Rachel's page was blank. Is it my computer or did something happen?

Condolences for Rachel Barnes & Family / Denise Collins (None)
Dear Mrs. Barnes, I just wanted to write to tell you thank you so much for all you've done for Paige's website. It truly means so much to know that people really care about what someone has to go through from day to day. I know what you're going through because you also lost your child. Sometimes it seems so hard to get through the days but we have to go on with our lives. I have two other children that need their mother right now and I can't just lay down and pretend that they don't need me because they do. Sometimes I wish I could just lay in bed for days and just cry my little heart out, but I can't. I'm sure you've felt the same way at times also. If it weren't for my other two children I don't know how I would make it through the day. I am so happy to know that Christian has someone as special as you that she can trust and can be so close to. She talks about you quiet often and it is always something really nice. Thank you for always being there for her when she needed you. I thought Rachel's website was so pleasant to look out. She was a very beautiful girl. It hurts so bad when you lose someone you love. We both lost our daugthers so we have something in common. I hope and pray that the Lord gives you strenght every day to help you cope with your daughter's passing. God bless you and your family, always. You never know Rachel could be taking care of Paige. That would be absolutely wonderful because even though I didn't know your daughter she seemed to be a very, very sweet and caring person. May she rest in peace with the angels in heaven! Thank you once again for what you have done to Paige's website. My family truly appreciates it.
Dear Marilyn / Donna Connor (angel friend )
Hello there, Wanted to stop by and say "Hello" and pray you are well and getting thru each day. Time may pass but yesterday's are always with us. Our "Angels" always near. I do find there are times I need to take a break, but miss our "angels" we pray for. Each night I continue to light my candle and pray for your "angel Rachel", always on my mind, never to be forgotton.
On Sept. 16th many of us will be walking for the 2nd time for the "jimmyfundwalk" in Boston. I will be walking in Honor of your Rachel alongside our "silly jilly". Rachel will be part of our walk every year. I make buttons of Jillian and with your permission I would like to make a button for Rachel. You can send your favorite pic and I will print it up and every year Rachel's button will be worn. WE are known as the "Button people", I get totally carried away! Many people have walked for Jillian in other states, supporting her memory and family so this year I plan to do more, walk for many others, no matter how old or young (which is the worst). So I would like to add your beautiful daughter to my list of "angels" so they know they are never forgotton and the parents of these precious children know others care and remember "Rachel's" brave story and journey.
Rachel's site is beautiful! I can't seem to get Jilly's site to glitter. If you have any info on how to do this I would be appreciative and pleased of course. Have to get the glitter to sparkle as these "angel's" of ours made our lives sparkle.
I pray you are getting through the days and your sadness eases somewhat. It's been 27 months since Jilly departed and there are days it feels like yesterday. I know the pain will never go away, the tears always there I just pray between the tears you have laughter (Jilly's Mom, Deb taught me this so long ago and it helps.) And always I am sorry your "sweet girl" had to depart too. I am always sorry for your pain and I promise you when I am away from my computer our "angel's" are always close by. I hope they met and that someday we will be reunited with the "girls" we love so much and miss :)
Always in my thoughts & prayers: Love Donna "silly jillys" Godmom ox ~my candle remains lit~ Close
