Our condolences to my cousins; Cindy, Yvette, Lindsay and Ewen, and also to Mark who we haven't met. We were deeply sorry to hear of Rachel's passing. The too few times we saw her she was always enthusiastic and interested and very very funny.


Much love and sympathy from Richard Hamilton and Lorraine North in Christchurch.

Rachel was a much valued colleague during her time in the Department of Library and Information Studies, and the School of Information Management, at Victoria University. Her knowledge and passion for her professional field and for teaching were an inspiration. Those of us who worked with her have missed her since that time and will continue to do so. Our sympathy and thoughts are with her family.

Rachel positively influenced & inspired many of us in the Archives sector, & over soooo many years, she will be missed...
I particularly loved (& am so glad I told her) how much she gave to her chosen profession, above & beyond her day job :)
Thank you Rachel...

So sad to hear that my cousin Rachel has passed away, so young. My condolences to her family and loved ones. Rima Sobolevskaya(née Lilburn)

My condolences to Cindy and Yvette.I remember with great fondness my visits to Jeanettes in New Plymouth I guess about about 50 years ago.Time flies (the pet rats and goats were always entertaining )and Jeanette was always a modern women who instilled those values into her daughters much to the consternation of the elder generation!!!

As a colleague in her professional field from way back, I am very sad to hear of Rachel's passing. She was so full of life and indeed taken too soon. My thoughts are with the family at this sad time. I may be away at the time of the memorial service, but will attend if I'm in town. Kind regards, Jackie Jean

I was saddened to hear of Rachel's passing recently. I was a class mate of Rachel's at high school and have fond memories of her. My condolences to Yvette and Cindy and partner.

I remember an absolutely gorgeous young student, who with her sister Yvette equally gorgeous, coming into the Powderham St Market, where their mom was a stall holder, both girls bubbling with enthusiasm... a breath of fresh air Am sorry to hear of her passing and condolences to all. Her beautiful soul will be a bookmark in my fond memories. RIP Rachel
