  15. 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.

  17. 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

  19. 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
      Mrs. J.

  47. 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
