Rach, I don’t really know where to start. I still can’t believe I’m not going to see you again; I’ve found it hard to put into words how I feel, I still don’t think I’m able to. You are a dear friend, you will always hold a special place in my heart. I will hold on tight to the memories, I wish there could have been more.  Life isn’t as bright without you in it.   I loved our walks around Horton Country Park our ‘Therapy Sessions’. I smile with happy tears thinking back to our coffee loyalty card from the coffee truck there.  You insisted on keeping hold of it, as I couldn’t be trusted (which was very true, I would have lost it within a second of receiving it). I don’t think we ever received more than two stamp on those things, we’d have to ask for a new one at each visit, it will remain one of life mysteries where they got to. The laughter we shared trying to think where they’d gone, it was so silly, but we’d be in utter hysterics over it. I promise to keep up the tradition and never receive more than …

Amongst other memories I recently recalled the day that you were sent your parking pass for the WTW Reigate car park.   You were so elated and said that you now felt that you really belonged.   You have always belonged and we now all miss you so very much.   With love and happy memories.    …

I had the pleasure of recruiting Rach twice, once for a short-term contract (she came and tried us on for size!) and was absolutely thrilled when Rach agreed to join our team permanently all those years ago, we didn’t look back from that day on!  Rach was such a super friend and colleague, unflappable, well respected and fun, we often put our heads together to solve a problem, working some magic and getting things done.  I cherish the time we spent together in Cascais, sauntering along the seafront after a long day, running around Cascais trying to figure out how we could make a treasure hunt work for 100 people, dashing about in a taxi visiting every clothes shop and boutique to find a swimsuit for one of our group (the driver definitely thought we were bonkers!) and lounging by the pool sipping cocktails watching the sun go down.  Great times.  My heart breaks for your nearest and dearest, you leave such a wonderful legacy and will never be forgotten.  I will miss you so much Rach.  Honor xxx   …

Dear Rach, gone too soon, may you rest in peace – you will be missed by everyone.   My thoughts are with your family.  Colin x …

Dear RachaelI have so many happy memories of you both socially as a friend and as a work colleague – always thoughtful, considerate and kind. When things became challenging at work we always managed to make light of any situation and come out smiling.You can rest in peace knowing that Izzy will benefit from all the love and care you have shown her. Much love Pat Webb …

Our little corner will never be the same…  I’ll miss your laugh (it never failed to make me smile), our chats about books, your kindness, thoughtfulness and wicked sense of humour!  You were one in a million Rach xxx …

Rach, I really don’t know where to start.  I’m heartbroken that I won’t see you again.  I loved working with you and considered you a dear friend outside of the office.  I especially remember a weekend away with Cecile to Winchester to visit the Christmas market – we did a lot of eating, drinking and talking!  Also a girlie afternoon tea in London and dancing the night away at a Christmas party night on Epsom Downs.  Such a lot of laughs and wonderful, happy memories.  I miss looking over my computer screen and seeing your smiling face looking back at me – it’s very quiet without you.  You will be missed so much.  Rest in peace my darling friend xxx …

Dearest Rach – the best friend and work colleague anyone could ever wish for.  I’m finding it difficult to put into words how much I’ll miss you.  I will forever remember your kindness, advice and words of encouragement whether it be work-related or personal, you always had the time and always willing to help in any way possible.  I will never forget our regular lunchtime walks into Reigate (pre-lockdown) – we would drag each other out just to get some fresh air and always felt better for it.  Then in lockdown our regular Teams calls – always with lots of laughs and the odd moan or two!!  I can’t believe I’m not going to see your beautiful beaming smile or hear your laugh again but I have the fondest memories that I will treasure forever.  Life won’t be the same and I’m really going to miss you, rest in peace and lots of love always xxxxxx     …

Dearest Rachael, there are no words to express all of our sadness at losing such a shinning light from our office.  You were such a dear friend and colleague, we laughed, we tittered, we supported each other, we even moaned together as we tried to put the world to rights! You were always on had to sort out flipping expenses with me, although I have have to say you were always so much better at these me! When I think of you I smile, life is so cruel sometimes, but or thoughts and memories of you will live on for ever beautiful lady. RIP Rachael, our prayers and thoughts will always be with you and your family, love  xxx  …

Dearest Rach, I have such fond memories of you and our time working together. From my very first day you were always there to offer advice and support to me personally and professionally. Your presence is greatly missed in the Reigate office and our area is just not the same without you.  I miss going up to your desk and chatting with you. You were most generous in your sponsorship to my Race for Life 10k run and in your honour I will be running a 10k in July for Cancer Research. We miss you dearly Rach x …
