THE AJC DID AN ARTICLE ON THE LIFE OF RACHAEL.
http://www.ajc.com/gwinnett/content/metro/obits/stories/2007/12/10/fouquet_1211.html

Last week a good friend of mine passed away. It is terrible, I am still in disbelief and I think I still will be until the funeral on Tuesday. I have been going through the entire situation confused, and hurt and it has been very hard.

After seeing the family I made up my mind to try to do something for them. I did not know what I was going to do at first, then I remembered that I am online so much that I could try to raise money to donate in Rachael's memory to her family. The money will go to help pay for the funeral and for anything else the family needs during this time of need.

All money collected that the family doesn't need or take will go to the American Heart Association as a donation in memory of Rachael Fouquet.

Please do what you can. Any donation of any amount will be accepted. $20, $5, $1 even change. Anything will help. I will keep a total on this page and will update it daily. I do not know how far this will go, but I was hoping to collect donations all the way up until December 21st.

Vjizzle, aka Vanja, and I have been the 1st to donate both giving $50 to the cause. I hope everyone on here can help out even if it is just change.

I'm very sorry to hear about your friend. Seems like she was an incredible young lady and I hate to see that she lost her life through no fault of her own. I will donate some money sometime this week.....

I just wanted to say thanks to Kelly Taylor, Carolyn Busby, Robin Riegelhaupt, Phuc Nguyen and Erinn Walker. Yall are all amazing people. I am still at $181 but I was not able to log on to see any of the numbers yet. My phone is strange because sometimes it will let me pull of Paypal and other days it will not let me. I will check tonight once I get home form my finals. Hopefully we will be over $200.

Also I went the to Funeral yesterday. I still just cannot believe it has still happened. The worst part was when Rachael's mom talked. I dont think there was a person in the crowd that wasnt crying. Then at the cemetery everyone let a balloon go, one of Rachael's cousins, Ziggy I think hes like 3, tied a note to Rachael to the balloon. He said that the balloon was going to bring the note to Rachael in heaven. It was so cute, and at the some time almost made everyone around him cry.

Once again, thanks to everyone and happy holidays
