I so admired and respected Rachelle – still do! She was beautiful inside and out, kind to everyone she met, patient and so forgiving. We lost touch a few year ago but I remember the lunch when she told me about Lloyd she was in love. I was so happy she finally found the love she so deserved.
Loved watching the Facebook posts of all the happy times and family events especially the Christmas photos, family was everything to Rachelle.
Gone too soon, although her family is sad and will miss her, what a blessing that you had Rachelle in your life.
Our deepest sympathies to Rachelle’s family and loved ones. I first met Rachelle in 1967 at school. I have many cherished memories of our friendship and she will be truly missed. She was an incredible person, taken from those who love her much too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you in the time of sorrow.

So very sorry to hear this sad news. Hopefully you will be able to focus on all the good times and fond memories and they will help you through this difficult time. Sending our thoughts and prayers.
My heart is broken, the thought that we can no longer chat and I can no longer see your beautiful light. I know that you are no longer in pain and for that I am grateful. My heart is with your family who are trying to pick up the pieces. To them I am sending love. Forever beautiful, forever loved ❤ Love Shawna and Mark
Rachelle is remembered with love by our Class of ‘75. She was beautiful inside and out. I will always hold dear her kind, warm smile. Heartfelt sympathy to Rachelle’s family.
So sorry to hear this, she will be missed by all as she was such an uplifting individual. Our condolences.
Norm will be there playing the bagpipes and welcoming her with open arms. Love you all.
My deepest condolences to Rochelle’s family and friends. I knew Rachelle since we were kids in school, but like most people lost touch when the events of life moved us away or kept us busy with our families. I always admired her in school as she was so much more daring than I could hope to be. I’m certainly glad we got to see each other 5 years ago when was in Toronto again. She was a loving and beautiful soul and surely will be deeply missed. RIP Rachelle…
There is no word to express my sadness for loosing you, my dearest friend! I just pray that one day we will meet again soon in Heaven. At that time, there will be no more tears and pain. Rest In Peace in Jesus arms, dear Rachelle!
May God’s Mercy and Comfort Be Upon your mom and your entire family 🙏❤️
Our deepest condolences to the entire family. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. 🙏❤️
Janet and I reminisced about the great times and events we attended together. Our Year end get togethers we’re the best. Crowned by the famous fur coat fiasco at Millcroft. Rachelle will be remembered always and the Wilson’s extend our sympathies to the whole Milne clan.
My deepest condolences to Rachelle’s entire family. Although we lost touch over the years I have very fond memories of times with Rachelle. She was loving, kind, and always fun to be with. She will be missed and remembered lovingly by everyone she has touched.
Cousin Edmond

Rachelle was a kind, warm and loving person and I see all that in each one of you, her children.

Rachelle,
I had been doing a daily prayer for you for weeks, but I am sure God has a greater plan for you. You will be going to a heavenly place where you will be embraced by your beloved husband, father and granddaughter. I will miss you dearly from down here though. RIP, Rachelle.
