To the Ayo Family, Rachel will be missed, she was a pleasure to work with and we often helped each other with difficult situations. It is hard to believe she is gone but I am grateful to have met her. I could always count on Rachel to listen when I was having a meltdown and she always brought a different perspective that I may not have thought of, I will miss her level headedness. Rachel and I often shared stories about our families and compared our parallel lives. I will miss those talks and her bright and cheery smile. Please accept my sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy.
