Unfortunately, NanaB is no longer with us. It's sad. Rachel had such a presence. She was a fighter!  Her imput on the board as well as our personal conversations will be greatly missed.  i had hoped to meet her in person, but it didn't work out.  It's so hard to digest.  She will be greatly missed.

    NO!

    I don't want to believe this. It can't be. 

    How did you find out? I just looked at her FB page, but no mention on there. No, of course I believe you. I just DON'T WANT TO. 

    OK! I do see it on the other FB page. 

    I can't believe it. I just can't believe it.

    Dammit!

    Ugh. dammit. I'm so upset. that is too bad. I'll miss her recommendations for healthy eating and drinking.  I'm glad she got to go to Gerson though because it's what she wanted, and what she believed in.

    my sympathies to her family

    Oh dear, my stomach simply dropped out when saw this post.  My deepest condolences to Rachel's friends and family.  She was an inspiration to many here and will definately be missed by her virtual family on this board.

    With sympathy,

    Tearing up and

    feeling an ache in my heart. She was one of my first cyber friends when I came onto the board. I also knew her through Facebook. Peace to her and her family, I knew she was loved and went surrounded by love. I'll miss her. Yeah, I hate cancer.

    So sorry. Its both a good thing to be on this board for a long time ( 8 years) and a sad thing. The losses mount and it just hurts. All my best to those who knew her better, who helped and loved her.

    May her light forever shine

    Another person who gave of themselves here on the board to help others is now gone.

    Let us honor her and those who have passed before her by helping each other and those who may yet need to find their way here.

    Rest in peace dear Rachel.  Prayers for those left behind who loved her.

    So sad

    I hardly know what to say about this.  I will miss her.  I had heard on Monday that she was not doing well, I just had to lay down and cry.  I just feel numb by all the loss.  It is so unreal.

    Rachel

    I am broken hearted that our dearest Rachel has passed on.  I have loved her and her beautiful spirit for many year.  Rachel, you were a gift to us and a gift especially to your incredible family.  You will be unbelievably missed but you will never be forgotten.  Into peace my friend.

     

    Aloha,

    Amen to that Chip

       With each loss a little bit of us goes as well. Over many years it takes a real chunk out of our hearts. I just read and accept now , what else can we do but support and mourn. Ron.

    When I met NanaB

    Here I am with Nana.  Nana is the beauty with the lovely short grey hair. 

    She was fun, strong, loved her family, loved her friends. What a privilige it was to have met her, though I confess, it makes the loss even harder. 

    Love you, NanaB - Rachel.
