I met Rachel in 1988 in Schenectady NY and we became quick friends. Throughput the years I would visit her at the different dwellings she resided in, each decorated so much like a creative artist type would. We were both musicians and talked about a day we might record music together, sadly it never came to pass as life has a way of diverting us from our druthers. I'll greatly miss her and her unique perspective and approach to life. To her family and other friends, I send my absolute sincerest and heartfelt condolences. Farewell for now my dear friend, I'm sure we'll meet again one day down the road. Rest in peace💔💔💔

Friendship, love, kindness, compassion, 20 second hugs, the beach, shells, her playing with and showing my sons her art, reading her books. She taught me to trust again and I got myself a best friend when I was needing one the most. She was so funny and fun loving. We will miss every day seeing her and having something fun or funny happening. Throwing tennis balls over the apartment. Honest to God she was something special and a guardian angel to my family trio. I hope she felt the same about us. Trusting we were always looking out and had her back too. I know she heard us say we love her the afternoon before she passed, and my sons and I are so grateful she had no doubt that is true. We miss you Rachel. See you on the other side my friend. I know you’re watching over the boys. A bird flew into our house last week and let me pick it up and bring it back outside. There was nobody I wanted to tell more than you. I couldn’t help thinking it was you pranking us, Showing off your new wings. Love always, Cara, Roman and Liam. Our deepest condolences to her friends and family.

I am so sorry to hear this unexpected news. I played softball with Rachel in the Dennis Women's League. She was a wonderful teammate and an amazing person. We stayed in touch through social media and her beautiful artwork. I always knew I had a friend in Rachel. Travel light. ❤️

I am so saddened by this news. I found out in The Independent. Rachel and I met in 2000 at the Provincetown Tennis Club. We enjoyed tennis for years.In years gone by we kept in touch.

I told her that I had 2 knee replacement in 2017 and 18. I remember that she always had knee trouble but put off surgery.

My heart is broken I’m so sorry for your loss. Loved her and her voice.

May her memory be a blessing 🎾❤️🎼🪘

I only knew Rachel for a relatively short period of time but she lifted up my path. I loved her. Her compassion for people in need of help, her Buddhist way of life, her intelligence, her smile, her sense of fun. I am heartbroken that we will not be able to do all the things that we planned. I am grateful that we connected so intensely before she left this mortal coil.

My deep sadness at this sudden loss for different communities that we both belonged to. We both served as members of the Guiding Council of the Insight Meditation Circle of Cape Cod. I got to know her over the past few years and she gave me some wisdom when I was going through some things. I will miss her quick wit, her laugh and her insights. As a Buddhist I wish for her karma to find it's way into a new being whose life is filled with joy and happiness. May her family be well and I'm so sorry for your loss.

What sad news. I new Rachel since 1988 and we met in Schenectady near her home in Albany at the time. I wasn't even supposed to meet her, but she saw me walk in and knew I was lost and not from around the area and approached me to help with a smiling face. Since then I have visited her in Provincetown and Cape Cod after that. It was a long drive from Western NY but I was always elated to see her and spend time and catch up with everything that was happening in our lives. There was never enough time. I am just crushed... I will upload a photo or two when I get to my other computer that has the files. My sincere condolences to the family and to her close friends like Eric. Eric.... I am so sorry brother.... (((hugs)))

I I'm so sorry to hear about this loss. Rachel was one of a kind. She gave her heart to a lot of things. She gave of herself without even asking for it. Her and I helped one of our neighbors for about a year and a half until he got some permanent help. She cared. She was very, very caring person and she will definitely definitely be missed.

We would jam once a week in the fall of 1999 at Jerry the dentist house in truro.
Rachel on drums, me on bass, Jerry on guitar. Loved that time spent together.
