Although I didn't spend a lot of time getting to know Raquel, she meant a lot to those who she did spend time with. It's very unfortunate the circumstances that prevent her from being with us today, but I hope that her children will be able to stay strong for each other and keep those precious moments alive. In looking at the pictures that were at the wake, I noticed that Raquel did one thing that not many can say, she enjoyed her life. Although short lived, she really did live. Despite whatever regrets she may have during her short time here, she lived more than some people that live to be past 70.

Rita & family, I am very sorry about your loss. Every life has a story, and every story has a purpose and meaning. In this purpose and meaning, Raquel will be given a new life within each of us.

Mercedes, Meranda, Damien, and Bentley - You are your mother's legacy to the world and as such have been through such experiences that allow you to make a difference in this world for the better. Don't sell yourselves short, live life to the fullest, be sure to add your own unique flavor to your life, and find your way of making peace with the world around you. In the world you will find balance, but first you need to find the world.

Rest in peace, Raquel
