My sincere condolences to Rachel’s family! I knew Rachel since 2021, I met her by phone, my stepdad Manuel Castro grew up with her and her family, also my late husband Arthur G Olmos knew her, I heard by them two that Rachel was a very special friend! I know personally that it’s true, I grew a deep conversations with her and she would advice me or listen and I became very close to her, my heart is broken because I would always text or call her, and when we talked we talked for hours, and mostly laugh like we known each other for many years! I lost my best friend Rachel, even though I never met her in person. She was always there for me when I needed her! I ask her family to please stay in contact with me, and my thoughts and prayers are with you all, she’s got her ticket to paradise! Rachel, I will always remember your voice, laughter and advice you gave me! Thank you!! I will forever miss you

Tia was always opening her home to all the family and extended family . I lived with her as a teen , same as my daughter Rina. I know many of our family had a time or two with her . Many people got the chance to experience her personality , hospitality, humor , love and generosity. Tia Rachel definitely was unapologetically herself always . With her faith and how she showed love , as well as her  protection. Everyone knew not to mess with her . My uncle Terry always held a special place for her in his heart . Always spoke very highly of her and loved her “Spitfire “ . When my dad would speak of her he would always say she’s FUN . He loved to argue with her and he would just laugh when he made her mad . My Mamma and her had ups and downs , no doubt  Mamma loved her sister. I know my Tia loved my Mamma .  I’m sure in heaven they are laughing about the good old times.  As for me and I’m sure my brother Paul will agree . My main memories of her will be “Her singing Figaro and her version of the Hill Billy song .” Her dink dink dink still plays in my head along with her laugh .  My heart goes out to my cousins 🙏🏼 ♥️ Love Maria

My beautiful Tia,
God blessed our family by placing you with us all. We all will cherish so many memories of all the joy you brought to us all. I loved spending time with you, you made me laugh so much…I’m going to miss you coming over with my mom at 10pm…and waking me up, sitting together at the kitchen table, having coffee while all of us laughed because you spoke freely what was on your mind…I MISS YOU ALREADY TIA! 

You are a pillar in our family. 

You taught us all so much…and I can only pray that our complete family will draw closer to Jesus and worship Him in Truth and Spirit the way you did…your amazing!

I love you Tia so much….

Love Always,
Your “Negrito”

i am soooo sorry to hear about rachel she was a very sweet friend living down the street from her and her family she was a real joy very kind

Our Amazing Tia Rachel was a GODLY woman. She worshiped and served to the end. She looked to Jesus to say “Well done faithful Servant” . She loves Jesus….We all love our Tia Rachel . She treated everyone so special. She was beautiful …especially inside to outside . She had a special gifts and everyone knew that she loved them very much. She wanted all her loved ones to serve GOD and do good. She is very lovely but bold… sometime bossy…LOL. I love the real and loyal in her. We are so loved by her. Never had no dull moments with her, no matter what the outcome was.
 I love you more my beautiful Tia …I know you are rejoicing with our Jesus in dancing on that beautiful ballroom with all your loved ones and My beautiful mommy (Dotta) in are wonderful(Pastor Juan) to we meet again in heaven. I will never forget all your love that you poured into us forever thankful Tia.❤️

Rachel was my first friend when I moved to California. She introduced me to her family - sisters, children, cousins, nieces & nephews and her dad. I felt so welcomed and enjoyed all the time I spent with Rachel. She will be deeply missed.  My thoughts are with the entire family. Love to you all.
