Rachael was such a great grandmother. She would regularly invite Marly and all her friends (including our daughter Cecilia) to her house to spend the night, have a party and enjoy the water. And we would often stay too because there was so much food and fun. She was a force in Cambridge and so supportive of the community as well and all the visitors who would come stay. Our love to the family, Juliette, David, Cecilia, Leo and Jeremiah

I’ve known Rachael for 9 years and three months since I started working for her at Irving House. She was one of the most nurturing souls I knew. I am really saddened by this tragedy as I offer her loved ones my condolences. Rest in Paradise Rachael. You will forever be missed.
