I, Sherry Guimoye was staying with Rachel and Yaniv at their home in Israel in 10/14. It was one night . The phone was ringing off the wall wanting to talk to Rachel about being matched up. Rachel starts singing I'm so popular. It was very funny. Today is Rachel's birthday and I miss her so much. I am very sad, but I will try to make it a happy day in honor of Rachel. She was a wonderful person, so brave and understanding of other people. When people were cold and didn't seem to care she didn't take it personally . She accepted people and cared about them anyway. Happy birthday to my beloved daughter Rachel.

With All My Love,her mom Sherry

It was 

I was Rachel's High School Varsity tennis coach.

She was a talented and tough athlete.  Never gave up and her matches sometimes kept us waiting til the sun set because she could get every ball back.  She was quirky, funny and warm hearted.  I'll never forget her.

We went with Rachel by bus, we entered, and it was some problem with my ticket, I don't remember now. I was sure, the bus driver is not right, and tried to argue.
She told me, very nicely, she thinks it doesn't make sense, and it's better to think, making "kidush H-m, and judging him to .... don.t know how to say it in english ("ladun lekav zhut") to think good about him.
And she told it with a lot of warmth, and without critic. It was a very special moment, I appreciatad a lot, Rachel told me this!!!And understood at this moment, I have a very very special friend!
