RIP Rachael Fouquet....

[dtmcnamara]

Today is a day that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Today is the day I saw a mother cry

Today is the day I saw a older sister mad

Today is the day I saw a little brother hiding

Today is the day I saw a family torn apart

Today is the day that I realized how precious life is

Today is the day I heard a mothers voice quiver with fear

Today is the day I heard a sister mad at the world

Today is the day I heard a true story about a beautiful girl

Today is the day I heard a miracle was suppose to happen

Today is the day that one life may have saved many others

Today is the day I felt a mothers warm heart

Today is the day I felt a mothers cold tears

Today is the day I felt a family's struggle to stay strong

Today is the day I felt truly helpless

Today is the day I that I witnessed the saddest thing I have ever seen


RIP
Rachael Fouquet

I will never forget you
I will never forget your bravery
I will never forget your life story
I will never forget your words
I will never forget your way of life

And most of all I will never forget what you have show me, and how your life and struggle has opened my eyes to a new world.

Thank you for everything you have done to make this world a better place. God has one more beautiful angel in heaven

Christine, Renee and Tyler please stay strong, Rachael would be happy that everything went the way it did.

The hardest part of this entire ordeal is when I walked into the ICU room and was talking to Christine, Rachael's mom, and she told me that she slept next to her baby the night before. I almost broke out into tears at that exact moment. Then to see Rachael's shoes and the last poem she had ever written, it was too much for any person to handle. At the end of the poem it said

"I will be much better when all is done"

Well Rachael, I truly hope everything is better where you are now. I just wish you didn't have to go there this soon, 19 is too young...

She was pronounced brain dead at 4pm on December 7th. By 6 they had organs already obligated to others. And by 9 all papers had been signed. The rest is history...

Wow, i just got kind of emotional right there man!

Terribly sorry for your loss.

[EM1toEVO]

That is horrible. I'm sorry for your loss.

[The Ren]

im so sorry for your loss.. We are here for ya as an IA family.

[UpSideDownDesi]

i went through the same last year when my cousin sustained major brain damage and reading your posts was like walking step by step through past. I have seen everything moment by moment...it isn't easy. I was with him when they took the breathing tubes out, i saw the heart rate drop...i saw him goin away. I can only imagine what you friend's family was/is going through. I'll keep Rachel's family in my prayers. She is in a better place.
RIP

Sorry to hear about your friend.

RIP.

[Whiteboy™]

Sorry for the loss, she seemed to be a good person.

[twinj]

Sorry for your lost. You have my deepest sympathy, I lost my Father yesterday so I understand what you are going through.

I am devastated by this, these news hit my faimily hard. She has been a very good friend of my sisters as well. They were just at a concert a few weeks ago... They were at the beach a few months ago... it crushed me that she was %100 last month and everything came to this. I thought everything was going to be ok, as most of us did. I am praying for her family. We will be donating all of the flowers for her funeral. I wish I cold do something even for my little sister and her friends to make them feel better. It must be striking to have to go and know that you have to say "goodbye" to a friend that you have known for many many years...

[aaronfelipe]

What has kept my sister strong for her friends is KNOWING that she lived the best she could live and that she enjoyed all the time that was shared between her and her group of friends. I can hear her in my mind laughing and being the happy person that she was.

it is strange to think that someone so beautiful could be ripped away from all of her loved ones because of a simple bubble of air. Rachael alone has showed me that life is beautiful and that we need to be great full for having our healthy bodies. She has left her footprint in my soul and it has changed my life forever. Thank you Rachael

And Aaron, yall truly are wonderful over there. Thanks

has your sister read her last poem? it is the most beautiful and sad poem I have ever read. She wrote it before surgery. It will be at the funeral. I cry every time I read it because at the end she writes that she will be better when this is all over. I think in one way she knew that this was going to happen because she truly is in a better place now.

[aaronfelipe]

She has left a significant print on my whole family as well. We are praying for her family and all of her friends. We are going to miss her.

[Maniac1]

RIP Rachael.

[Reaper]

wow, im so sorry for your loss...my condolences and prayers go out to everyone..

[Princess12]

I will keep her family and friends in my prayers. There will definitely be a special Christmas Angel this year.

[Miranda]

She is in a better place. Be happy for her. Comfort her family. But do not mourn that God took her away from a broken body. She was an amazing girl. I will definitely miss her.

[WickedIXMR]

Damn thats crazy.... I never would have thought she would go this early. How is vanja doing? Whens the funeral?

[§treet_§peed]

damn sorry to hear this man. my thoughts are with you. it is never easy to let go of some one close family or not. but you know that she is in a better place where she will never hurt again and 19 is to young, life really has just started for her...

[§treet_§peed]

and even thru all of the **** talking trash talking and other bs, Like Ren said we are still a family here on IA....

[dtmcnamara]

Damn thats crazy.... I never would have thought she would go this early. How is vanja doing? Whens the funeral?

Vanja is ok. Thats all I can say. He is hurting inside you can tell, but we all are. We are all still in a stage of shock, I still just dont believe it all happened this quick. It was like last week we were all going to the mall together and eating at Taco Mac with her...

[Leisa]

:( That is so sad to hear... may she rest in peace!

[The Yousef]

i'm sorry...she will be in my prayers....

[SicStang03]

Damn... I wish I hadn't read this today. I am about to start studying and now I can't concentrate..

RIP to a beautiful girl

[Da_unknown]

[ATK_Designs]

[cactusEG]

srry to hear that man, God be with her...

[savincent]

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. I'm nearly speechless. My condolences to you and her family. The worst always happen to the best people.

[koukis14]

My thoughts go out to all her friends, family, and loved ones. May she rest is peace.

[YoungGun]

Sorry to hear that dude. Thoughts and prayers are with you and her family.

[RUFFIAN]

that so touching. I am Praying for you and your family for strength and Guidance right now.

[Slow Motion]

Rest easy....condolences.

[Shawna]

Im speachless. I didnt know her but from what I have read she seemed like a truely wonderful person. My brother in law (we kinda grew up together) died a couple yrs back and I still cry over it sometimes but always remember the good times you had with her and it will get better each and every day. I know the hurt will never go away but it gets easier to deal with time. You and her family and friends are in my thoughts and prayers.

[dtmcnamara]

With the passing of Amanda brought all the pain of Rachael back to me. I just wanted to say that we are still thinking about you.

Thanks for looking after us down here and say hey to Amanda for us...

[ultm8mind]

19 is too young, too young. Sorry for your loss, she's in a better place now.

[Got Milk?]

19 is too young, too young. Sorry for your loss, she's in a better place now.

[Glade]

[DeeAOne]
