As a special needs child, Rachel had many challenges in her life.Life wasn’t always easy for her, but she had the support of a loving family, friends and many other advocates. Rachel was sweet, loving and full of life, but also had a stubborn streak at times!Her final gift was that of being an organ donor and eight people immediately benefited; she lives on in each of them. Rachel’s joys in life were going to LaBrasca’s Pizza, a McDonald’s fish sandwich, new pajamas, the color green, a good cup of coffee, the back door (Hilton Head Island condo) and sleeping late in her bed. We want to say a special thank you to her amazing caregiver, Carolyn Ginn, and the wonderful staff at HopeBridge at the Oaks, as well as the many caring doctors and nurses throughout her life; specifically Dr. Bill Taylor and Julie Desmarteau, P.A.
