I’m so sorry for your loss. It is obvious you loved her.
My darling Rachel Norine Battaglia-Quinn. You are the sweetest and most extraordinary person that I’ve ever met. Thank you for the amazing years of life love and laughter together. They will never ever be forgotten. You and Ellie baby will always live on with me. You are my best friend and Ellie my beautiful niece, I love you both with all my heart. My eyes are heavy from the tears, and life will never quite be the same without you. I promise to always look after your family. Always and forever my love.
You were one of a kind Rach. So beautiful, smart with a heart of gold. I’m so grateful to have known you. I love you and baby Ellie and will miss you more than words can describe. Love your “big sis”, Jackie ❤️
I am at a loss for words. We met at SJC and you were my pledge sister. You always knew how to make everyone laugh and you had a heart of gold. My heart aches for you and your family during this hard time. May you and baby Ellie rest in peace. Love you!
May God forever hold Rachel and Baby Ellie in the palm of his hand and may their bright lights forever shine down on you…my deepest sympathy and condolences to all 💔
Such a beautiful woman inside and out, generous, kind, dedicated and always down to laugh and dance. You will truly be missed! May you and your beautiful baby girl’s soul rest peacefully in the kingdom of God, until we meet again! Love you, Rach!
I only met you a few years ago, I knew the moment we spoke what a beautiful young lady you were. You had that spark and joy with every word you spoke. You will surely be missed by many people.
I will always remember you and your beautiful baby girl in my thoughts and prayers. 🙏
I knew you as Mrs. Quinn. You were my son, Ethan’s, 5th grade teacher last year. You were an amazing teacher and he really loved you. You made him not hate school and taught him so much, not just academics, but kindness. You led by example. I was truly devastated to hear of your passing and that of your little girl. I am praying for your family, friends, colleagues and students. May God Bless you all.
Rachy, my beautiful twinny, I cannot believe you’re actually gone. You will forever be my yearbook picture and graduation line-up neighbor, Titanic-loving, teacher friend, “Low” dancing, Michael Jackson singing queen. There is no one else that I would rather have been compared to when we were growing up than you. From middle school, high school, and college, thank you for all the beautiful memories. I remember joking with Caitlyn at your engagement party that you would be having kids in no time because you were just so clearly meant to be a mother. You and baby Ellie will always be together and never forgotten. I will be thinking of and missing you always.
Love Always,
Your Twinny
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Over the years, I have often thought about that wonderful kindergarten class that I was blessed to teach. Rachel was such sweet, little girl whose smile lit up the room . It heartens me to know that she and Caitlyn formed a deep, long lasting friendship that has endured over the years. May your memories of your beloved child, wife and friend comfort you in the days ahead.
Dear Sandra,
I was Nathan Quinn’s Kindergarten/ First grade teacher. I have kept in touch with him throughout the years. He is a student I will never forget. His smile lit up the room, too. I am crushed to hear about Rachel and Ellie. I had the honor to meet Rachel 4 years ago when Nathan invited me to his class reunion. Their love for each other sparkled . I was beyond happy for them.
Although you and I have never met, we share sadness and love for Nathan and
Rachel.
Blessings,
Joan Janicelli

So sorry for our loss. [My 16 yr old, passed in 2009. We miss those we love so dearly, knowing some day we will see them again. Her spirit lives within your heart.
may your beautiful souls live on i send my condolences to the family.
You will be truly missed
Such a warm and caring person, who leaves much to early in life. Her goodness will be missed.
Rachel, I will always remember you for your kindness and how you were always having fun. You were so real, down to earth, and lovable… It’s funny how one of my most vibrant memories of you were us passing each other in the hall in middle school in probably 6th grade, just after we had the “talent show” for all the students who didn’t go on the Shelter Island field trip. You and I both performed a song, and when you passed me in the hall (just the two of us, and you didn’t know me at all) you said “You were so good up there!” And I remember being stunned, because i thought YOU were so good up there! I said thanks, you too! And we kept walking our separate ways. I don’t think you realized how happy that comment made me, and I remember it sometimes when I have to engage in public speaking. That’s just the kind of person you were…
My heart, thoughts, and prayers are with your family and friends at this time. Caitlyn, I’m thinking especially of you. I know you two were inseparable.<3
