Dear Basil, we are your old neighbours and we are coming to Wellington this week and we were going to visit you both. I was shocked to hear Rachael had passed after a tragic accident.
We hope you are recovering, and coping without your lovely partner.
Sending our deepest sympathy, Jude and Athol

I only just read in the newspaper today of the sad passing of Rachael....Rachael was my Manager at Amex back in 89-94.... for our Wellington team she will always be remembered as a protective mother hen....

What I remember is Rachael was always passionate & gave 100 percent....

I have lots of fond memories....

God Bless

My sincere condolences to all of Rachael´s family and loved ones. I had the pleasure of working with Rachael back in the 80´s and 90´s at American Express where I learnt so much from her deep expertise and devoted leadership. May she Rest In Peace.

Condolances to Basil, Donna and Tim. I had always enjoyed my correspondence with Rachael over many years and our visit to Wellington. Our prayers and thoughts at this time.

Dear Basil
Sorry to read of Racheal's death. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Would love to meet up with you sometime. David Stevens

Rachel was my beloved Godmother. She made me feel special growing up, even when we lived in different cities. And she always kept in touch after I grew up. I will miss her, especially not getting the chance to reconnect in person. Condolences to her Basil and all her other loved ones. Kind regards. Nicola Adamson, née Ogier

Donna and family, I have wonderful memories of Rachael and the Davin family growing up in Bould Street, Johnsonville. I am so sad for you and all the other people who have been impacted by Rachael's death. She will be missed. Kind regards Judy

Dear Basil, Tim, Donna, Neil and all Rachael's family.
I was very shocked to hear the news of Rachael's death yesterday - I sent a message to Tim via FB but found this link today.

I last had lunch with Rachael about a year ago -and sadly have not seen her since. I remember well her 70th with all of you present!

I was coming up Bowen St into Tinakori Rd around 7.10 the night she/they were hurt. I counted 12 police cars and two ambulances and thought there'd been an incidence at the Sprig and Fern!

I'm so sorry for the loss of your lovely sister, sister-in-law, aunt and wonderful friend. I worked at American Express with Rachael from 1981 - to October '85 until the birth of my son. I was around when she met Basil, and she was an incredibly kind and generous person in my life for the rest of the 80's and 90's, spending lots of enjoyable hours with our family. We lost intimate contact when they went to the UK but we kept in touch meeting from time to time for a wine or lunch.

She had a beautiful heart and did so much for her community.

I presume Basil was the other person involved - I hope he is OK?

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy at this very sad time. You must all have had a very tough two weeks. Sending love and kind wishes to you all.

Please keep me in the loop when you arrange her memorial.
Thank you.

Deepest sympathy to family. Rachael was a friend of family as a child and at same school as me. In recent years we communicated on messenger. Very sad to read of her death. Thoughts with you all.
